One way to select features is by simply by clicking the left mouse button near the feature, or in the case of
area features, within the feature. Using this method, the closest point or line feature will be selected, or if no
point or line features are nearby and you clicked within an area feature, the area feature will be selected.
To select multiple features at a time, you can drag a selection box by holding down the left mouse button to
draw a box. Any features entirely within the box drawn or features which are cut by the box will be selected.
If you hold down the 'I' key while dragging the box, only features and vertices that are completely within the
box will be selected. This is useful for things like selecting a point feature that is on top of a line/area border.
You can add to an existing selection by holding down the CTRL key while performing a selection with any of
the above described methods. You can deselect features by holding down the SHIFT key while performing a
selection. You can toggle the selection state of features by holding down both the SHIFT and CTRL keys
while performing a selection. As a final option, holding the 'P' key when clicking to select the feature may be
used to select the topmost area feature at a location. This is useful for selecting area features that may be
overlaid by a line or point feature. It's functionally equivalent to using the Vector Display tab of the
Configuration dialog to enable only the "Select From Areas" option - a temporary selection filter.
If you are planning on moving lots of features, you can speed up the process by holding down the ALT key
when selected features and/or vertices. Doing this will cause you to automatically put into move mode when
selecting new features and/or vertices.
You can also select area, line, and point features within selected area features by first selecting one or more
area features using the previously described methods, then right clicking and selecting the appropriate option
under the Advanced Selection Options submenu. This makes it easy to find and edit all of the point, line,
and/or area features within some other area feature(s).
When working with island and parent areas, there are also some options available under the Advanced
Selection Options submenu that make it easy to select all of the island areas associated with selected parent
areas and to also deselect the parent area for a selected island area.
Selecting Vertices
Global Mapper User's Manual
If the Show Area and Line Vertices option is enabled (Shift+V is a keyboard shortcut to toggle this setting),
you can also select individual vertices on area and line features. You must select vertices before options
allowing you to work with individual vertices in area and line features appear in the right-click options menu.
Selected vertices will be shown on the display with a circle around them.
To select vertices, simple left click near a vertex to select the closest one if any are nearby, or drag a box to
select all vertices within the box. The same behavior modifications occur as described above if the CTRL
and/or SHIFT keys are pressed when selecting. If you hold down the 'S' key when left clicking, only vertices
from already selected lines or areas will be considered.
Pictured below is a screen capture showing a line feature and several of its vertices selected, with a right-click
popup menu opened to show the available options.
