idea Expanded 'selection by location' options in ArcGIS Pro Ideas https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/expanded-selection-by-location-options/idi-p/973627 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>When using the 'selection by location' function in ArcGIS 10 to select features&nbsp;based on&nbsp;their spatial relationship to another feature, it seems that all of the distance propositions are for features that are "within", "contained by", "touch" or "cross"; but I do not find any spatial selection methods for the opposite conditions (i.e. "outside of", "don't touch", "doesn't cross", "not contained by", etc.). While I am currently able to use the 'remove from currently selected features' selection method to remove the features that I don't want to keep instead of selecting for the ones I do want, I suggest that there should be an option for working with an expanded set of selection methods addressing both the 'located within' type of conditions&nbsp;<U>and</U> their opposites (i.e. the 'not located within' type conditions). <!-- content transformation source ID: 087E00000004Hlq --> </BODY></HTML> Tue, 31 Jul 2012 04:28:56 GMT ChristopherAndersen 2012-07-31T04:28:56Z Expanded 'selection by location' options https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/expanded-selection-by-location-options/idi-p/973627 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>When using the 'selection by location' function in ArcGIS 10 to select features&nbsp;based on&nbsp;their spatial relationship to another feature, it seems that all of the distance propositions are for features that are "within", "contained by", "touch" or "cross"; but I do not find any spatial selection methods for the opposite conditions (i.e. "outside of", "don't touch", "doesn't cross", "not contained by", etc.).
