Select Feature By Override (Cartography) (ArcInfo only)
Release 9.2 Last modified July 13, 2007	Print all topics in : "Tools"

Selects features within a feature class representation that have geometry and/or representation property overrides.

Usage tips

• The input must be a geodatabase feature class with at least one feature class representation.

• Identify a feature or features from a single feature class which have representation overrides.

• Identify either geometry overrides or representation property overrides or both types of overrides.

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