MapInfo Pro offers a selection drawing style that uses translucency through enhanced rendering. This requires that the window is enabled for enhanced rendering, see Enabling Enhanced Rendering for New Windows. This style method is useful when you need to select map objects, such as points or regions, where they overlap or appear to draw on top of one another when you zoom out.

To control the translucency setting for the selection style, go to the Styles Preferences dialog box. The slider is located in the Highlight Control group for that dialog box. For more information, see Setting your Style Preferences.

If enhanced rendering is turned off, selections are drawn using an older selection method. This method, under certain situations, causes overlapping objects to appear unselected.

Note: A particular selection style may not look ideal in either mode. You will have experiment with the settings.
