Re: MI How to Select NOT WITHIN

[peter . corlett]

Dan,
         The way I do this is to make a copy of the point table, select all
within the polygon and delete the selection. What is left is everything not
within the polygon. There may be a more elegant solution to the problem, so
I'll be interested to see other peoples' response to this.

Cheers,

Pete.

Hello All,

I have a polygon file (with 1 polygon) and a point file with 3000 points.
I
want to select all points that do not fall within the polygon.  How do I do
this?

Thanks,

Danny Heuman
