Counting polygons within a certain radius
Hello,
I have a large number of polygons which represent property boundaries located on a map.
I would like to count the number of polygons which are contained within a prescribed circle radius (please see example below).
How would I attempt to do this in Global Mapper, is there a tool which can be used or is it easier to export the location of all polygons in excel as a CSV file along with their coordinates and try to calculate it mathematically.
I think one of the reasons what I am having difficulties is the shapes are polygons and are not points which obviously have a specific coordinate which can be referenced
Thankyou for any help in advance
