Select Features

Select features on a map to examine an object or area of interest in detail.  Clicking the tool opens a context menu for selecting the shape of the region. 

Select options

Choose whether you wish to view visible layers or all layers (including hidden layers):

Icon	Select tool
	Select with a rectangle shape.
	Select with a circle shape.
	Select with a custom polygon.
	Show all layers (including hidden layers) or only visible vector layers.
	Clear selection

• Click on the starting point of the region.
• Click on the end point of the region (a polygon, which has multiple points, should finish on the starting point).
• The selection will automatically be highlighted on the map and in the layer manager.
• The attribute table in the context menu of a highlighted layer will show the selected features.
• The original tool button is changed in a clear selection button. Clicking it will cancel the selection.

Note

• If the region is within an area, it will be selected, although the selection is not expanded. Features in the area, but outside the selection region, are not selected.
• The attribute table will show only the selected features by default. Use the ‘’show all'' button to show features that have not been selected.
