QuestionWhy do Area Target "fill graphics" appear outside of the Area Target boundary?
Answer
If an Area Target fills the region outside of the Area Target boundary, it means that the automatically computed centroid is outside of the Area Target boundary. Follow these steps to resolve the problem.

1) In the 2D Graphics window, zoom to see the Area Target.
2) Open the Area Target Properties browser and go to the Basic - Centroid page.
3) Clear the Auto Compute Centroid check box and click Apply.
4) With the Properties browser still open, go to the 2D Graphics window. Left-click the mouse button anywhere on the 2D map within the Area Target bounds. This will move the centroid inside of the Area Target and will cause the Area Target to fill inside the boundary.
5.) Go back to the Properties browser for the Area Target, click OK, and return to your analysis.
