Is there a function that chnages the place of a new entity if it's positioned on the same place as an old one? (Both entities are from the same layer)

  • In what language, what program, what galaxy? How about investing a little effort to formulate a clear question if you want free help? – Marcelo Aug 13 '12 at 11:03
  • Sorry!!! - I am using Arc Map and I have a couple of layers all contating many entities. I am looking for a function that will do the following - if a new entity is supposed to be placed in a certain location and an entity is already there it will place the entity in different location ("X" cm away) or something like that – user1377737 Aug 13 '12 at 12:03

You can set up a topology to ensure the points are always disjointed. If they overlap you will get a topology error.
