The Invert command is a convenient way to select many objects at once. You simply select the few objects that you do not want, and then invert the selection to select all the objects you do want.

  1. Make the layer that you want to select objects from selectable. On the HOME tab, in the Windows group, click Tool Windows, and click Layers from the list, to open the Layers window. Click the Selectable icon beside the layer name to turn selection On.
  2. On the MAP tab, in the Selection group, click Select from the selection list. The cursor becomes a cross hair when moved over the Map window. Click one or two map objects.
  3. On the MAP tab, in the Selection group, click Invert. MapInfo Pro selects all the objects that are not part of the current selection, and cancels the current selection.
