Introductory Maptitude: Lesson 5

Selection Sets
5.2 Selection Set Basics: Creating Selection Sets
Maptitude lets you ask many types of questions about the features in a map and the data in a dataview. When you ask a question, Maptitude answers it by creating a selection set, which is simply a list of records in a single map layer or dataview.

There are five ways to create selection sets:
  • Use tools to select features from a map or dataview.
  • Select features in one layer based on the location of features in another layer.
  • Select features in one layer based on values for features in another layer.
  • Create a condition to select records based on the values of one or more fields.
  • Select features by combining other selection sets.
