Using Polygon Selection - MapInfo_Pro - 2023

To select objects using Polygon Selection:

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 Polygon Selection from the selection list. The cursor becomes a pointing hand when moved over the Map window.
3. Click the map location at which you want to place the first end point of the polygon. Move the cursor over your map in any direction. MapInfo Pro draws a line from the point where you clicked to the cursor.
4. Click to create another endpoint. Continue to move the cursor and click until you have the desired number of sides to your polygon.
5. To close the polygon, make your last click as close as possible to the first click. MapInfo Pro closes the polygon and selects the objects that are within it.
