I'm new to GIS, but I've spent some time playing with Explorer desktop. I'm trying to query within a geographic boundary, and not sure if it's possible.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The Query Plus (QP) add-in allows you to select a layer, draw a shape and retrieve points within the resulting boundary. You can also use a pre-drawn shape stored as a note. For example, consider a shapefile of hospitals. From within QP, I can&nbsp; trace the state of Utah and find the hospitals within it. Alternatively, I can draw Utah with the "Area" tool, store the shape as a note, and use that note in QP. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>What I'd like to do is load in a shapefile/KML of, say, U.S. counties or states, and use features from the layer as my boundary. So instead of having to draw Utah, I would like to select it from a shapefile of U.S. states. I haven't been able to do that with QP because it only recognizes notes or shapes drawn from within the add-in. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is this type of operation possible?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Help appreciated!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 22 Feb 2011 19:39:32 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-explorer-desktop-questions/query-by-boundary-with-query-plus-or-similar-add/m-p/691248#M4304 PrajwalKulkarni 2011-02-22T19:39:32Z Re: Query by boundary with Query Plus or similar add-in? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-explorer-desktop-questions/query-by-boundary-with-query-plus-or-similar-add/m-p/691249#M4305 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Yes, it is possible.
