GIS Skills: ArcGIS Pro and the Selection Tool

Get some serious GIS skills in this first ever Tool Belt Tuesday where I will be going over the select tool in ArcGIS Pro. I'll show you the different modes of selection, how to add features to and remove features from your current selection, as well as how to select just from your current selection. I will also show you how to use the new marching ants graphic that is similar to photo editing software.

Hey it's cool to see you down in the corner while you walk us through this stuff! Great info!

I didn’t know about many of these features. Thanks for the info!

Having only taken a college course about two years ago, It's really nice to see that somebody made an organized channel where I can review. Looking up tutorials usually results in being intimidated by large blocks of text, and talking with my professor for review in a course that I'm no longer paying him for doesn't seem right either.

My only suggestion would be to briefly mention the type of things that can result from what you went over in the video -- whether that be as a 30 second intro or outro. Something like "if you're looking to do something on this list, you're in the right place." You don't even need to read it off.

Thank you, now I finally know how to unselect the select function. Just by going to modify and pressing scale or somewhat else.

Please, make a video about the FAO land cover classification in ArcGIS Pro

Good video. I'm a beginner and I can't seem to find the normal tool on the menu bar.

How about selection overlapping features in the same layer. I know you can add them one by one but not sure if there’s an option to select all with one click.

Does ArcMap have a similar selection tool as 'Select objects by style' which is in MapCad tools (used in MapInfo)? Basically you select an object, click on Select objects by style, and all objects which are the same style (color, line width, fill, etc) as the selected object will be selected. You can do this without having to created any attribute fields.

hey On arcmap there is a tool "set selectable layer" where one can still see the layer still visible but would be unselectable for edits. Is this tool also integrate on arcpro

[jessicagallagher]

How do you turn off the selection tool? My curser still has the little symbol on it showing that I'm using the selectin tool and then every time I try to move around on my map it starts selecting instead of moving the map.

HI!，I have imported an Excel file into ArcGIS Pro, and it created a standalone table and various layers based on the data. However, when there are new data entries in the Excel file, how can I synchronize all the layers and the standalone table accordingly? Is there a way to update them automatically with the new data from the Excel file
