Defining areas and subareas

Use the Preferences Administration GUI to define areas and subareas.

Procedure
  1. Import an SVG image of the area. See Importing a graphic of your area.
  2. Use the Preferences Administration GUI to reference the graphic and set preferences, such as scaling and coordinate transformations, for the area. See Transforming coordinates for your areas.
  3. Optionally, use the Preferences Administration GUI to nest another area inside of an existing area or create a subarea. Use the following fields in the GUI:
    1. In Parent SVG area name, enter the name of the parent area. For example, Matrix.
      Note: Area names must be unique across the installation.
    2. In X offset value, enter the X offset value in units for placement of the subarea within the parent area. For example, if you want to nest the subarea 40 feet inside the X axis of the existing area, enter 40.
    3. In Y offset value, enter the Y offset value in units for placement of the subarea within the parent area. For example, if you want the subarea 20 feet inside the Y axis of the existing area, enter 20.
  4. Save your preferences and exit the GUI.
  5. Open the Spatial Management Client and verify that your settings are correct. See Starting the Spatial Management Client (administration).
