Select By Location Dialog Box - MapInfo_Pro - 2023

The Select By Location dialog box allows you to select objects from one table based on their location relative to objects in another table.

Select objects from

Select a table to select objects from.

Compared to objects in

Select a table to compare with the objects selected above.

Relation

This option allows you to specify the spatial method to use when selecting objects from the first table in relation to objects from the second table. You can choose from a list of spatial operators (Contains, Contains Entire, Intersects, Within, Entirely Within) and an option for Within a Distance.

If the button is pressed MapInfo Pro displays the query results in a new Browser window.

If the button is pressed MapInfo Pro adds the results as a new layer to the top-most map window and brings that map to the front, or creates a new map window if none exist.

When you click directly on the color palette drop down, this opens the color palette picker. The "Automatic Colors" section shows all the colors that are used for automatic mode. Any of these colors can also be selected as the manual color.

If the button is pressed MapInfo Pro finds results in map and browser windows. In a map window, the view will zoom to the extents of the selection if "Zoom on Find Selection" Map Preference is checked (see the Editing tab in the Map Preferences dialog). The button is disabled when the NoSelect button is pressed.

If the button is pressed MapInfo Pro performs the query without changing the pre-existing Selection table. Press this button if you need to perform a query, but you do not want to de-select whatever rows are already selected. The button is disabled when the output table name is "Selection". Change the output table name to something other than "Selection" to enable the button.

OK

Executes the query.
