Advanced Selection Options

Before you can edit or analyze an existing feature or features with the Digitizer tool, you first must select them with the Digitizer tool active. Once a feature is selected, you can tell that it is selected because it will be drawn with a different style. The different methods for actually selecting features are described here.

Below are the sub-menu Advanced Selection Options available in the Digitizer right-click menu. The options available will depend on if no features, or if a feature of a certain type (point, line or area) are selected at the time of right-click.
