The previously time-consuming process of updating the cartographic basis can now be completed at the click of a button in RegioGraph 2011. It's therefore quick and easy to automatically update the boundary status of existing project files while preserving all settings and completed analyses. This new feature saves time and enhances productivity.

Preparation

After acquiring a new map update for RegioGraph, the associated layer should be imported into the map library. Next, open the project data whose maps you want to update.

Execution

Click the QuickStart button in the bottom left-hand corner of the project sidebar to open the Quick Start Menu. Next, select Tasks > Update Maps.

1.    The subsequent dialog and pull-down menus allow you to specify the layers to be updated. Go ahead and select the first layer.

2.    RegioGraph then checks whether there are maps in the map library with a more up-to-date status. Click the desired layer.

3.    Prior to beginning the update, you can specify that a backup copy be made. Start the update by clicking OK.

Results

After a layer has been updated, you'll receive a summary that lists the changes made. Specify how you wish to proceed:

You can choose to update additional layers or end the update procedure. After ending the update process, all maps contained in the project file remain unchanged, but they now contain the new postcode or municipal boundaries.
