Is it Possible to Select Notes this way?

[PatHuesers]

I have a map that I am adding notes to and would like to select notes in a certain way.   I am hoping to draw a line and select all notes within a certain amount of miles from the line and then further work with the selected notes.

What I am trying to do is place customers with thier sales data on a map, and use the line tool to draw a route on a road, and then get the total sales volumes from those customers that are within reach of that route.

Is this possible, and if not, will any map feature work in this way?

Hi,

If you're selecting Notes against Notes then there isn't an out-of-the-box way to do this. For selecting items from physical datasets ("Feature Classes" / "Feature Layers") there are a couple of Add-ins on ArcGIS.com in the Explorer Labs Desktop Group.

So for the Notes on Notes selection you'll probably need to look at writing a custom Add-in for Explorer using an ArcGIS Server Geometry Service. If you don't have your own ArcGIS Server implementation in your organisation you can use the online sample server: http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Geometry/GeometryServer - accepting the limitations of a "sample" server of course (i.e. regarding availibility, uptime, etc). For help with the Geometry Service see the REST API documentation: http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/SDK/REST/index.html?geometryserver.html.
