Instructions for use

Location Analysis is an interactive query based on the principle of distance analysis, which can be used to calculate the distance from a point to a line or surface. The Calculate Result is displayed in the Location Analysis dialog and in the Map.

Location Analysis is an interactive query in Map, so you need the Open Map window before you can use it.
