Maptitude P&E Tech Corner
How can I recreate a plan with current political districts (e.g. State
Legislative Districts, Congressional Districts, etc.)?
If you already have an equivalency file, you can import that file during
the plan creation process to rebuild the plan in Maptitude for Precinct and
Election Management.
If you do not have an equivalency file, do the following:
- Choose File-Open and open the fixed-format
binary file ccblk.bin. This is the part of the census block database
that contains the attribute information for blocks.
- Choose Dataview-Fields, clear all of the
fields from the list, and then add back BLK and your desired field from
the list below.

- Choose File-Save As and save the dataview
as a Dbase file.
- Create a new plan by importing the equivalency file.
