Using the Map Layer Selection tool

On the Editing toolbar, you can click Map Layer Selection to select layers on which you want to perform operations, such as editing or applying enhancements to all layers.

To use the Map Layer Selection tool

  1. On the Maps tab, make sure at least one map layer is turned on and visible in the view pane.
  2. On the Editing toolbar, click the arrow beside Map Layer Selection, and then select one of the following layer type options:
    • All Layers
    • All Rasters
    • All Vectors
    • All Bitmaps
  3. With the mouse pointer, select the layers you want to work with using one of the following methods.
    • Click once to select a location in the top-most layer. To select the next layer down in addition to the top layer, click again in the same location.
      Note: When selecting raster and bitmap layers, invisible pixels are ignored. When selecting vector layers, a layer is only selected if you click on a shape or within a polygon.
    • Click and drag a rectangle to select all intersected map layers. If the layer's extents intersect the dragged rectangle, the layer is selected. Only layers from the active map area are selected.
