Select an Underlying Feature?

CurtAhlberg — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 00:12:24 GMT

Hi guys,
I am doing editing in a feature class, I have one feature completley overlaping another, how do I select the underlying feature?

In other programs it is usually a combination of holding Alt key down while clicking the feature and continue clicking until you have drilled down to the feature you are interested in.

I have tried holding down Alt, Ctrl, Shift in various combinations while clicking but cannot seem to select the underlying feature.
Any help would be great!
Cheers
Curt

Hi Again,
For others wondering, I have found out what works:

Select a feature, then to select an underlying feature press 'n' key.

I have a similar problem. 2 line objects is completely overlaying each other, but in this case I want to delete the "upper" object. Unfortunately my database consists of about 1000 objects, and to prevent a click-by-click process, I have to make a rather complex selection first. Quite a headache.. Please help.
