Behavior above 10,000 objects

Important

The source guide describes special handling when selected polygons collectively contain more than 10,000 objects: earlier polygons may be unapplied, and counts for very large polygons may be approximate. Use a smaller polygon for a precise count or use Drill Down, which may load slowly.
