If you’ve attempted to create Geographic Areas in Arena, you know it’s a difficult process.  Fortunately there’s an easier way.  Using Microsoft MapPoint, you can draw freeform shapes on a map, and then use a new utility to import those shapes into Arena as areas.  Below is a video that shows how to do this. 

The video content presented here requires JavaScript to be enabled and the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player. If you are you using a browser with JavaScript disabled please enable it now. Otherwise, please update your version of the free Flash Player by downloading here.

The Import MapPoint Areas utility can be downloaded from the “Arena Shared Files” folder in the Downloads section of the Arena Community site.
