ArcGIS Pro 2.1 | How to drag a polygon with Explore tool?

VincentLaunstorfer

Hi,

I am getting frustrated with the new Explore tool (Map tab) in ArcGIS Pro as I cannot click & drag a polygon to explore (formely identify in ArcMap) multiple features. Is there any workaround?

If there is no solution, please ESRI add this functionality to the next release.

There is always the option to click & drag with the Select tool but I have to open attribute tables in order to explore my features. It is rather cumbersome, in addition to ArgGIS Pro being slow.

Thanks

This is in ArcGIS Pro 2.2 which is the upcoming release:

To do a rectangle select with the Explore tool, hold Ctrl and drag a rectangle:

Holding Shift will give you the zoom rectangle.

Exactly. This is what I currently do. But it forces me to open all relevant feature class tables in order to explore the attributes... Not the best.

To me, the former Identify tool in ArcMap was more flexible and powerful!

Thanks

Same idea... just a different tool

VincentLaunstorfer

Not quite.

Shift + click opens the zoom in icon for the mouse pointer, in order to draw a rectangle to zoom in.

I am referring to click & drag a rectangle only to "select" multiple features in the Explore tool in order to scroll through the selection in the pop-up window. Just like it used to be in the Identify tool in ArcMap... Simple things but it makes work easier and faster...

Are you referring to holding down the Shift key then dragging the mouse to form a rectangle?
