I'm having issues using Arcgis 9.3 and the multipart to singlepart feature and then selecting by location.

Basically I'm able to run the multipart to single part feature to split up some of my polygons. I then use the select by location, setting the parameters to within a polygon in another layer. The problem being that it wont pick up all the features within that polygon, missing most of the ones that were originally multiparts out.

Has anyone come across anything like this before?

I'd be very appreciative of any help you can offer.

Regards,

Steve

Are your geometry features in shapefiles or geodatabase formats? – Mapperz♦ Jan 30 at 20:54

Sounds unexpected - have you cleared all selections and made sure Select By Location is performing a new selection? – PolyGeo Jan 30 at 21:44
