Use the
toolbar
to perform many GIS-related operations in addition to standard mapping
and toolbar functions. GIS toolbar tasks include redlining, COGO editing, editing a layer,
committing changes, synchronizing data, and more. Other toolbar features include
managing projects, printing, routing, profiling, online sharing, panning the map, and more.
Not all of the toolbar features are activated by default. To modify which toolbar items you
want to view, right-click the toolbar. Toolbar options with a check mark next to them are
currently displayed in the toolbar. Click the item to toggle it to show or hide it in the toolbar.
The map area contains a primary map and a
secondary map. Depending on the percentage
of the map area you have exposed, you may see
both maps or only one.
Viewing either the primary or secondary map is
helpful when you want to view a large area on
the map.
Splitting the map to view both the primary and
secondary maps allows you to view multiple
data types for the same geographic area, as
shown to the left.
To conceal/expose the primary/secondary maps,
either drag the map resize tool (the vertical
bar that splits the two map views) or click the
arrows on the resize tool to resize the map area.
The Control Panel
includes features
for viewing/controlling:
• Data zoom level
• Map panning
• Map rotation
• Coordinates
• Elevation
• Contour interval
• Map scale
