I only want the selected feature highlighted

JamesMcAllister1

In ArcGIS Pro, is there a way you can select a feature in a feature class and only have the selected feature highlighted? I don't want to see the other features.

Hi Tatjana, you can make a selection layer from your selected feature.

Select the feature of interest in your layer.
In the Contents pane, right-click the layer, point to Selection, choose Make Layer From Selected Features.
Turn off your original layer.

Now you have a layer pointing to the same data but displaying only the feature of interest.

Alternatively, make a definition query on your layer.

Select the feature of interest.
Get its unique identifier (like OBJECTID) from the attribute table or pop-up.
Open the layer properties for your layer. Click the Definition Query side tab.
Construct a query where OBJECTID = 1 (whatever the value of the feature is)
Click OK.

This will hide the other features in the layer without creating a new layer.

Not seeing one

but with some trickery

Image on the left... symbology, single symbol, color red.

Thank you! That's helpful.

one more option: set a display filter. Similar to a definition query in its visual effect, but doesn't change the attribute table display or field calculations/stats/etc. Those operations still work on all features in the layer, whereas a definition query excludes them.
