Global Mapper Query Possible??

Is it possible to highlight certain entities/items on the map with a query? Example- I'm posting 1000 oil wells and I want to highlight or display by themselves only those wells > 10,000 feet deep or similar.
I can't find any query GUI or equivalent. Is this possible in Global Mapper? Thanks

Yes certainly, use the Search->Search by Attributes menu command to find those with the desired attribute value (do a numeric search), then you can edit those and change the symbol or move them to their own layer or whatever makes sense.

Awesome! How could I have missed this. I observe that the wells selected by my query not only have the different symbol I specified but label postings for those wells have a different font size that calls them out further. Is there a way to control the Font size/Font Type for Attributes that you post? I can't find a way to do that.
Thanks very much for the help. -
Mike,
I see that I can create multiple queries. So I changed the symbols for all wells > 20,000 feet deep to gas symbols. I then changed the symbols for all wells located in a particular field. Both sets of query results are displayed at the same time. I don't see that I can save a query or the results of a query with a name. How do I edit the query/results of different queries? Is there a way to manage multiple saved queries? Thanks. -
Is there any chance that you can specify criteria like Total Depth < 2000 AND Total Depth > 0 I don't see a way to specify compound criteria. Is there some workaround that would result in the same thing as a compound query?
-
Yes, just do the first search (i.e. Depth < 2000), then setup another search for Depth > 0 and press the 'Search in Existing Results' button. This is the same as an 'AND' query with multiple criteria.
Thanks,
Mike

Sorry just saw your other questions. There isn't a way to save a query, but you can do some attribute-based editing via script using the EDIT_VECTOR command that may allow automating some of this. See Global Mapper Scripting Reference for details.
For the font, each feature has a font associated with it for the display label. So if you change that font setting then whatever attribute you choose to use as the label will be displayed with that font.

You mention changing the Font for each Feature. How do I do that? I can't seem to find that. Thanks. These suggestions are working great!
-
If you have all of the features selected, just choose to edit them, then specify to set the style for them and then press the Font button. You can then set whatever font you want for those features.
Thanks,
