This tool is available in the digitizer tool. With one or more area features selected, right-click with the digitizer to the Advanced Selection Options sub-menu.
A dialog will appear to specify the Area Coverage, the spatial relationship between the current selected area(s) and the areas to be considered.
Completely Inside a Selected Area - The final selection will be area features with geometry completely inside one or more of the currently selected areas.
Any Overlap with a Selected Area Allowed - The final selection will be area(s) with any shared coverage area with current selected feature(s). Any Overlap means that the areas must share more than just a vertex, the interior area must overlap.
Centroid Must be in a Selected Area- The final selection will be area(s) whose centroid falls inside one or more of the current selected areas.
Majority of Area Must be in a Selected Area - The final selection will be area features with more than half of their coverage area inside of one or more currently selected areas.
