Read the instructions below to learn this trick. 1. Find the area you are interested (for example, Clarke County) on the map and select it using the Select tool. It should turn black to indicate that it is selected. 2. Now you can create an outline or highlight for this area using the Buffer tool. Right-click again on the map and choose Buffer, then Create Buffer. A window should appear prompting you for information about setting up a buffer. Make these selections: Buffer offset distance = 1 ft Check the box next to Edge to create an outline around the district. Choose a style. Choose a color (something dark). Thickness = 3 3. You can also experiment with using a Fill, which will fill your outline with a color and pattern of your choosing. When you click OK, you should have an outline of your district on the map. If you want to get rid of this buffer and start anew, right-click and choose Buffer, Clear Buffers. Found this useful?
