Select Feature By Override

Summary

Selects features that have representation geometry and/or property overrides.

Usage

  • Input Features must be a layer whose source is a geodatabase feature class with at least one feature class representation.

  • The output is a selected set, so the results can only be used in models, scripts, and in ArcMap sessions.

  • Representation geometry overrides are sometimes called representation shape overrides.

Syntax

SelectFeatureByOverride_cartography (in_features, {select_option})
ParameterExplanationData Type
in_features

The input feature layer containing representations.

Layer
select_option
(Optional)

Specifies the type of representation override to use as a selection criterion.

  • BOTH —Select features that have either representation geometry or property overrides. This is the default.
  • GEOMETRY_OVERRIDE —Select all features that have representation geometry overrides.
  • REPRESENTATION_PROPERTY_OVERRIDE —Select all features that have representation property overrides.
