Select by Rectangle

A map tool that will select all the features that intersect the bounds of a rectangle. Use this feature if you are interested in selecting a contiguous group of features on the map, or for selecting a single, point-based feature.

Steps for selecting a feature by rectangle:

• Click the Select By Rectangle button in the Tools pane.
• Move the mouse over the map.
• Click and hold the left mouse button.
• Move the mouse to drag a rectangle, creating an area from which you wish to select.
• Release the mouse button to complete the selection.

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 Rectangle will select 'Parcel' features.
