The Buffer tool allows you to generate a buffer of a given radius around the selected objects.
Method of action:
- Make a Selection of Objects (they should highlight in yellow)
- Select the tool from the Attribute Table Toolbar
- Enter the buffer value in metres or select the attribute in which you store the buffer values you wish to generate.
- Press Run
- A polygon object containing the buffer will appear in the Map Window, which can be saved as a separate Data Source or downloaded as an SHP file
