Select a check box to change a layer or a layer group's default visibility. Using the Design Tab The Design tab of the Map Explorer lists the names of all layers in the map and their display ranges. Display ranges contain style information for a specific display range. For more information, see "Specifying Display Ranges for Layer Styles" on page 164. The layer and layer group names are always listed in the Design tab, even if the layer or layer group is not currently displayed. The Design tab also lists the reports and zoom goto definitions in the map and gives you easy access to customize the popup menu. Layers that are available at the current scale are listed in the legend in black, and those that are unavailable at the current scale are dimmed (gray). The check boxes in front of the layer names indicate whether or not the available layers are visible by default when the layers are within the current display range. You can turn a layer's visibility on or off simply by clicking its check box. Selected layers are highlighted. When a layer is selected, you can remove, save, delete, compress, or expand it, or change its properties. You can also drag and drop layers to move them. By pressing CTRL as you drag and drop, you can quickly make copies of layers. If the data for a layer cannot be retrieved, the layer is displayed as shown in the following illustration: This icon indicates that there was an error retrieving the data for the layer. 136 | Chapter 7 Getting Familiar with Autodesk MapGuide Author
