> > > > >

To split or filter a layer in the Map Layers pane:

Right-click a layer in the Map Layers pane and select Create Filtered Layer from the pop-up menu. The Select Layer Filter window opens.

The following figure shows an example of the Select Layer Filter window.

Select Layer Filter window
In the Select Layer Filter window, select the filter you want to apply from the list displayed in the Select Objects Where: dialog box.

Note

The list displayed depends on the metadata contained in the map layer you have selected.
Select an operator from the list displayed on the left and then enter a value for the operator on the right.

Note

You can filter an already filtered map layer again.
If you want to split a layer by grouping the objects that do not match the filter, check the Create a layer for non matching objects box. In this case, you create two filtered layers: one that matches the filter and one that does not match the filter.

Note

You can split a map layer more than once.
Click OK.
