When you edit a drawing query, you can modify a condition but you cannot change its type (location, property, data, or SQL). If you want a different query condition type, you must delete the existing condition and define a new one. You can also change the joining operator (And, Or, Not) for a condition.
Note: This procedure applies only to drawing objects. For information on filtering geospatial feature data conditionally, see To Use an Expression to Select Features.
To edit a drawing query condition
- In Map Explorer, under Current Drawing, right-click Current Query, and then click Define.
- To modify a saved query, in the Define Query dialog box, click Load. Select the query.
- In the Define Query Of Attached Drawings dialog box, under Current Query, select the query condition you want to edit. Click Edit.
To change the joining operator, select the new joining operator before you click Edit.
- Make any changes.
For example, if you select a location condition and click Edit, the Location Condition dialog box appears. Click Show to view or change the boundary of the location condition and press Enter to return to the Location Condition dialog box.
- Click OK.
