MiraMon topologically structured vector files allow several polygon files being linked to a single base of arcs. For example, you can have a polygon file of municipalities and a polygon file of regions that use the same arc file containing the borders of theses polygons. This feature has the advantage of having an excellent internal coherence and it also represents a save of disk space. However, sometimes you would like to generate a polygon base of regions that would not depend on the general arc base of municipalities, but only of the subset of border lines needed to describe the polygon file of regions. This process is called emancipation.
This program is thought to work on polygon files that only use some arcs of an arc database. A selective recycling (CICLAR 3) or a selection of polygons from MiraMon (VECSELEC) generate these kind of files.
The program can generate a duplicate of the polygons file linked to a new arcs file, or can generate a simple emancipation by generating an specific arcs file while maintaining the original polygons o file. In both cases, the original layer has been obtained by extracting only those arcs indispensable for the reconstruction of each polygon. It is not useful to use this program on a file of polygons that has been totally cycled, because in this case a base of arcs identical to the original will be obtained.
On duplicate option, output and input file names must be different.
