Selection

On the Selection page, you can set up the behavior of selecting points, lines, polygons, text, and rasters.

Under Selection, the Consider interior of polygon check box is selected by default. With this check box selected, you can select a polygon by clicking inside the polygon boundaries, even if the polygon is not fully closed. With a clear check box, the polygon must be fully closed to select it.

If you want to be able to change how selected points appear when associated with a layer, select the Select only if fully contained check box.
