The Select features by name dialog box allows you to add/remove feature(s) to/from the existing selection set. This can be very powerful if you want to select a group of features that don't share the same name. However, most selection operations will start with Un-Select All (if the initial number selected is not zero).
This dialog box allows you to select features using a list box. It is accessed from the Edit - Select Features by Name menu. Two modes (Simple and Advanced) are supported.
Options Available in Simple and Advanced Modes
