Maptitude® On-Line Training

Introductory Maptitude: Lesson 5

Selection Sets

5.8 Selecting by Theme
Maptitude allows you to create several selection sets in a single step by converting a color or pattern theme to a group of selection sets.

When you convert a theme to a group of selection sets, a selection set is created for each class in the theme. The color and style settings for each class are automatically copied to the selection set, and the original theme is removed. Note that in most cases the map will look exactly the same. However, you can now modify the display settings, labeling, and other attributes of each class independently.

Choose Selection-Select by Theme to display the Select by Theme dialog box.
