Select by Line
A map tool that will select all features that intersect the bounds of a line.
Use this feature when you are interested in a contiguous group of features, but need more control in which features are selected. With this selection tool, you specify a path and all features that intersect that path are selected. This feature can be used to select all parcels of a street segment.
Steps for selecting features by line:
- Click the Select By Line button in the Tools pane.
- Move your mouse over the map.
- Click the map once to start the line.
- Move your mouse to a new location on the map and click again to place the next point.
- Repeat the previous step as many times as needed to fulfill your requirements.
- Double click the left mouse button to end the line.
Note:
The functionality of this feature depends on the active layer. The default active layer is 'Parcels'; selecting features on the map by using Select By Line will select 'Parcel' features.
