This document describes how to create location geometries with the available drawing tool directly in the InfoEx system.
Step-by-step description
The following sections discuss the creation of polygon, line and point geometries separately:
- Drawing a polygon
Location types that support a polygon geometry include Operation area, Forecast area, Operating zone, Permanent closure, Ski run and Avalanche path. - Drawing a line
Location types that support a line geometry include Road, Rail, Route, Control Route, Ski run and Avalanche path. - Drawing a point
Location types that support a point geometry include Operation area, Ski run, Avalanche path, Weather site and Shot placement.
ISSUE | The system currently does not support multi-geometries (i.e., multiple, separate polygons, lines or points associated with a single location). Workaround: Please contact InfoEx support staff at the CAA to discuss possible solutions. JIRA: -772 (Aug.13, 2013) |
Drawing a polygon
Location types that support a polygon geometry include Operation area, Forecast area, Operating zone, Permanent closure, Ski run and Avalanche path.
Drawing a line
Location types that support a line geometry include Road, Rail, Route, Ski run and Avalanche path.
