Filtering In and Out
Example: I have thousands of QSR (Quick Service Restaraunts) plotted across the state of Texas. Sometimes I just want to look at Mcdonalds and Sonics listed, other times I want to look at Jack in the Box only. So my question is: Is there a way to do this.?

Simply put:
Is there a way we can filter in and out data without deleting it?

Re: Filtering In and Out
You can create a transparent custom icon, and switch that layer to be transparent.. I just did this the other day and I would post it as an attachment but I am not at that computer. I used HyperSnap you can download from Hyperionics.com. I think you need to use .ico to make it transparent, maybe .cur would also work.

Re: Filtering In and Out
Here attached. - it just took a second so I recreated it.

Hope this helps and is a good solution for you.


The other thing I was going to mention is that you can "cut" a layer (ctrl-x) which saves it temparily in the clipboard. Then you can paste it back in.

Maybe you could use something like a "clipboard manager" which would let you cut multiple layers and then selectively paste them back in.

Re: Filtering In and Out
I would add to this that it is possible to clear the map and
requery a database to plot your pushpins fairly quickly if
you are good with SQL and the MapPoint API.
