Open Printable/Searchable Copy - Global Mapper

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. You can also select lines or points within
selected areas, or also select any area that share a vertex with the selected area(s) or any areas that they were
connected to, or select any line features that share a vertex with the selected area(s).
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.
