WMS:Select With Polygon

The Select With Polygon command allows you to enter an irregular polygon enclosing the items to be selected (one of the selection tools must be active). To enter the polygon, click on both the polygon's starting point and each intermediate point defining the polygon and double click on the ending point. All items within the polygon will be selected. If an error occurs while entering a polygon, the following keys can be used:

• BACKSPACE or DELETE – Back up one line segment.
• ESC – Abort entering the polygon, and selection by polygon.
• CONTROL – Holding the CONTROL key down while moving the cursor causes all previously entered segments of the polygon to be moved simultaneously.

In addition to defining a polygon using the cursor, a polygon created in the Map module may be chosen to define a selection polygon.
