Hi Nick,
One possible way round it might be to change your layer properties so that surveys have their own unique polygon settings. You could change that to a light colour and even a high level of transparency so that it doesn't create a large polygon that masks everything else but that it would still show up for searches. I think that should work. I have different colours for different types of events but haven't changed transparency levels but pretty sure it can be done easily.

Subject: Mapping Big Events [Scanned]
Hi guys
another thing I have been wondering.
How do people map big events? Or do you not bother mapping them?
For example I am thinking of things like a Parish Survey event or a larger area event such as an NMP project over a big area, or a survey of an AONB etc.
I have been doing HER enhancement of records like these and the problem is if you map them as a polygon it quite often masks other events, but if you don't map them then you have to come up with a way of searching which pulls these in.
We use HBSMR, but I would be interested in anyone's thoughts on this, as its likely to be a common issue regardless of software.
thanks
best wishes
