Key Features Include:

• Multiple Selection Methods:
  • Fence – Selects objects that intersect with the fence polyline.
  • Window Poly (WPoly) – Selects objects completely inside a window polygon.
  • Crossing Poly (CPoly) – Selects objects that cross a polygon boundary.
• Customizable Selection Set Management:
  • Add to Active Set – Expands the existing selection set with new entities.
  • Remove from Active Set – Excludes specific entities from the selection.
  • Create New Active Set – Generates a fresh selection set.
• Automated Selection Along Multiple Polylines:
  • Users can specify multiple boundary polylines, and the command automatically zooms to each polygon and applies the selection method.
  • The results from each polyline selection are combined into a unified selection set.
• Integration with Other Commands:
  • Works seamlessly with GT_MAKESEL to build complex and powerful selection filters.
  • Enhances batch processing, area-based entity selection, and automation workflows.

Practical Applications:

• GIS and Surveying – Select features within defined map regions.
• Urban Planning & Infrastructure – Extract entities based on specific land-use zones.
• Batch Editing & Data Cleanup – Automate object selection for modifications.

Benefits:

This tool significantly improves selection efficiency and accuracy, making large-scale data processing and boundary-based selections easier.
