Frequently asked question

Can feature selection options for point symbols besides color be changed in ArcGIS Pro?

Last Published: April 16, 2024

Answer

There are situations in which it may be desirable to change appearance options for selected features in ArcGIS Pro other than color. This may be done to increase contrast to:

  • Make features more visible against background features.
  • Make features easier to see compared to unselected features.

At the time of this writing, only color can be configured for point feature selection. However, there is currently an Idea in the Esri Community requesting changing point size: Esri Community: Option to change size of Selection (Point) in ArcGIS Pro.

In response to a similar suggestion, Esri Community: ArcGIS Pro: symbology for selected polygons, additional selection options for polygons were added in ArcGIS Pro 2.7.
