Selecting Features Programatically

Selecting Features By Attributes

Sometimes you want to automatically select numerous features in a layer based on certain tabular criteria. In this case, you will select all the census tracts in Harris County out of the larger 13-county region. The COUNTYPF10 field in the attribute table contains the county FIPS code, which is '201' for Harris County.

Selecting Features By Attributes

1. In the ribbon, click the In the ribbon, click the Map tab.
2. In the Selection group, click the Select By Attributes button to open the Select Layer By Attribute tool in the Geoprocessing pane.
   
   
   
   
3. In the Geoprocessing pane , click the Add Clause on the right, ensure 'Input Rows' says HarrisTracts. This layer was selected automatically, because it was selected in the Contents pane at the time you clicked the tool button.
4. Click the New selection button.
5. Use the drop-down menus to build the following expression: Name (COUNTYFP10 is Equal equal to 'UNIVERSITY PLACE' and click the Add button.201').
6. At the bottom of the Geoprocessing pane, click RunClick Apply.

Exporting Selected Features

1. In the Contents pane, right-click the HGAC_tracts layer name and select Data > Export Features.
2. In the Geoprocessing pane, click the for 'Output Feature Class' field to edit the name. Replace HGAC_tracts with "MyTract". Ensure type "HarrisTracts". If the full file path is shown, ensure that you leave everything in the file path through Intro.gdb\.

Selecting Features By Location

Now we will create a map of the bus stops and bus routes within your neighborhood. We could continue to do our mapping within the existing map, but, since we are now focusing on different thematic layers in a different geographic extent, this could be a good time to create a second map within our project.

...

1. At the bottom of the Geoprocessing pane, click Run.
2. To see the results, in the Contents pane, right-click the newly exported HarrisTracts layer name and select Zoom To Layer.
3. In the Contents pane, right-click the original HGAC_tracts layer and select Remove. Note that this process does not delete the layer from your project geodatabase, but only removes the layer from this particular Census Tracts map.

Now you will repeat the above process to select the census tract for Rice University.

1. In the 'Selecting Features By Attributes' section above, repeat steps 2-5 for the HarrisTracts layer with the expression: (GEOID10 is equal to 48201412100). You can type in the FIPS code to have it highlighted in the drop-down list rather than scrolling through the entire list to locate it.
   
   You should see the Rice University census tract selected on your map, as shown below. Next you will zoom in closer.

Selecting Features By Location

Now we will create a map of the bus stops and bus routes that serve the Rice campus. We could continue to do our work within the existing map, but, since we are now focusing on different thematic layers in a different geographic extent, this could be a good time to create a second map within our project.

1. On the ribbon, click the Insert tab.
2. In the Project group, click the New Map button.
3. At the bottom of the Geoprocessing pane, click the Catalog pane tab. 
4. Rename the new Map1 to "Rice Bus Routes".
5. From the Catalog pane, within the Intro.gdb geodatabase, add the METRO_BusRoutes, METRO_BusStops, and Rice feature classes to the new Rice Bus Routes map.
6. in the Contents pane, right-click the Rice layer name and selectZoom To Layer.

You will now select all the bus stops within the Rice census tract. To include bus stops across the street from Rice, you will add a search distance of 50 feet from Rice.

1. On the ribbon, in the Selection group, click the Select By Location button to open the Select Layer By Location tool in the Geoprocessing pane.

8. In the 'Select Layer by Location' tool, for the 'Input Feature Layer', select METRO_BusRoutes.
9. For 'Relationship', select Within a distance.
