Identifying features

Suppose you are looking at a map of the world and you want to get information about a particular city. To get information about one of the features on your map, use the Identify tool. When you click a feature with this tool, ArcExplorer displays the attributes of the feature in a dialog.

How to identify features:

  1. Click a layer in the legend to make it active.

  2. Click the Identify button.

  3. Click a feature on the map.

  4. The results of the Identify are shown in the Identify Results dialog.

  5. If more than one feature is found, the features are listed in the Features panel. Click each feature to see its Identify results.

  6. Close the dialog box when done viewing results.
