Creating map layers of selected items

Using the map, select map items and then save the selected items under a new map layer group that appears under the My Queries group in the Layer Legend. When you expand the new group, the standard map layers corresponding to the items you selected appear, but those layers only include the actual items you selected. Configure unique display properties for items on each layer that differentiate them from the symbology used by the standard map layer, or clear the standard map layer so that only the selected items appear on the map.

To create map layers of selected items

1. Ensure that in the Layer Legend, inspectability is active and that there's a check mark in the visibility column of the layer(s) in which to select items.

2. Do either of the following:

From the Map menu, click Inspect , and then CTRL+CLICK or SHIFT+CLICKa map item.

From the Map menu, point to Polygon, and then click either Standard, Rectangle, or Radius . Either drag a rectangle or radius, or click vertices to draw a standard polygon, and then double-click to complete the polygon.

3. From the Tools menu, click Add to Map .

The items appear under a new map layer group that appears under the My Queries group in the Layer Legend.

To overwrite the last map layer added under the My Queries node, instead of Add to Map, click Update Map ().
