Manage Maps
From this menu the Manage Maps dialog appears where you can add or remove maps, set a map as
default, rename the map and/or alias and show/hide the legend tab (if map has a legend). The New
command enables you to create a new map window using the tables that are currently open. The
Manage Workspace Maps also provide the number of layers and legends in the map.
Layer Control
This menu command allows you to bring up the Layer Control dialog. It is active when the View >
Layer Control is unchecked and Layer Control is not visible. For a description of Layer Control’s
features, see
Change View
The Change View command enables you to change the current view of the map—that is, what area
of the map is currently displayed in the window. You can change the zoom and scale of the map to
your own settings. You can also set the center of the map window, or change the rotation angle.
The Change View dialog box allows you to choose the units (miles, kilometers, etc.) for the zoom
width and for the center X/Y coordinates (meters, degrees, etc.). Whatever units you choose in the
Change View dialog box are also used in the layer control. For example, if you want all distances in
the layer control to be displayed in kilometers instead of miles, display the Change View dialog box
and choose kilometers from the units list that appears next to the Zoom field.
View Entire Layer
Use the View Entire Layer command to see an entire layer, or all the layers in the map. The View
Entire Layer dialog box shows a list of the layers that make up the map. Select the desired layer
from the list, or choose All Layers so that all the layers are completely in view, and click OK. The
map redraws to display the entire layer.
Previous View
Use the Previous View command to return to the previous view of your map.
Next View
The Next View command is available after you have used Previous View. Use it to redisplay the view
of the map that was on the screen before you used the Previous View command.
