Get Range By Polygon Lasso

On the Design tab, in the Action group: Select Get Range By Polygon Lasso to set the selected range based on a set of input polygons. (Ctrl+P,L)

Input Data

Only applies when the Settings > Selection Type is Use Existing Shapes.

Select the Source of the data that will be used as input to the function:

Selection	Design elements you have interactively selected in the Design Window.
Visible	Design elements that are visible in the loaded layer. Elements that have been specifically hidden are excluded. This a quick way of selecting all visible elements in a layer without having to explicitly select them.
Layer	One or more layers that you select. Names of layers currently loaded in the Design Window are shown in bold.

For large datasets, for performance reasons you may prefer to select a layer rather than load that layer and select all of the elements in the layer.

Selecting a non-applicable layer will have no effect. In most cases, an error icon will indicate that the chosen input layer is not valid. Hover over the icon to view a validation hint.

Input Layers

When the Input Source is "Layer", select the layers that contains the polygons you will use to select a range:

Draw a Lasso

When the Settings > Selection Type is Draw Lasso:

Click Next to start drawing a lasso.
Right-click when finished.

Before you can update the range with an interactive range selection, an initial Output Range must be defined in Settings (below).
