Selecting Map Features Online Help Index selecting map features When you select features on the map, you can then view a report that provides information about the selected features, or you can adjust the map display to zoom to the selected features. The number and type of selected features are displayed on the status bar at the bottom of the map. You can select map features only if you enable the Make Map Features Selectable option on the General tab of the Map Layer Properties dialog box. For more information, see "Specifying General Properties for Layers" on page 153. Note When you select a map feature, Autodesk MapGuide Author selects the feature by its key. Therefore, if you select a map feature that contains multiple points, each of which has the same key, each of those points will be selected. Similarly, if there are multiple features in the map with the same key, selecting one of those features will select all features that share that same key. You can select map features in several different ways: Use the mouse to select features. Use one of the options on the Select menu. 134 | Chapter 7 Getting Familiar with Autodesk MapGuide Author
