I use Autodesk Map 5 to create a topology, create<BR>closed polylines, then export to shapefile. Any<BR>polygons which are complete islands within another<BR>polygon get counted twice for area. I can manually<BR>fix this by using the clip command in edit mode from<BR>within arcview. Does the e00 or a coverage format<BR>deal with these "donut holes" better? Or is there a<BR>way to have arcview go through and clip all the island<BR>polygons from the outer polygon? Thanks for any help.<p><hr size=1>
