The Select by Location tool allows you to compare and select between map layers. In this example I will select Points e.g. Stores that fall within Selected Areas e.g. Suburbs.
1.14.1 Data Setup
•Make sure your Point Layer e.g. Stores and Area Layer e.g. Suburbs are ticked on in the Layers Description box (1)

•Click the ‘Select by Location’ button 
in the Spatial Ribbon (2)
1.14.2 Select by Location
•In the Select by Location box that appears set the following:
•The Comparison Layer will always be the layer you are comparing against, in this case Suburbs (1)
•If you are comparing with selected features only, tick ‘Compare with Selected Elements Only’ (2) Otherwise leave this ticked off
•The’ Target Layer’ will always be the layer you want to select from, in this case Stores(3)
•Leave the Comparison Type as ‘Intersecting’ (4). You can change the comparison type as required.
•When you are finished Click ‘Select’ (5)
•All stores that fall within the selected suburbs are now highlighted in yellow on the map:

•To select (highlight) these stores in your Layer Grid:
•Click the ‘Select Highlighted Elements in Layer’ button 
in the Spatial Toolbar (1)

•Note, if the copy selected data button is greyed out, it means that this function was disabled when the reader file was created.
