ArcGIS Pro: How to limit Select By Attribute to the visible extent

ChuckBenton — Mon, 06 Aug 2018 16:33:10 GMT

I'm working with a national layer of parcels using ArcGIS Pro. When I select by attribute it queries the entire layer, however I only want it to query the extent that is visible. Is there a setting to enable that? I can't seem to find one anywhere. I recall ArcMap seemed to normally limit the Query to the visible extent.

I didn't know arcmap had one! Can't find one for Pro either.

My procedure that I have always used....

roughly set the view extent, use the selector tool and highlighted a big rectangle to select everything in there.
do the Select by Attribute, BUT use select from existing selection.

a cheap shortcut but it works
