Hi, Also NOT selecting invisible features might lead to odd results, people editing adjacent features and creating overlaps and gaps without knowing anything about what is happening. Well, editing blind does not feel much better :) Mechanism suits perhaps best for rendering and printing and maybe not well for anything else. Any idea about how ESRI users are utilising it?

Larry, This is an interesting scenario. I suppose it would be possible to tweak the theming style to ignore certain classes of features within a layer. I haven't worked with the theming style at all, so it is hard to say. You wouldn't want a situation where features were not visible on the canvas but were still selectable. So you would have to do more than just not paint them on the screen. You'd possibly have to tweak the selection mechanism as well. I guess I would just put the features I didn't want to display in a separate layer and then turn it off. :] I wonder if we should file a feature request on this.
