Showing a selected layer type

After a layer type has been hidden, it can be shown in the map again using the Show Selected Layer Type tool. This tool makes the layers in the layer type visible in the map again and checks the check boxes next to the layers in the table of contents. For example, if the annotation layers have been hidden in the table of contents, they can be made visible again.

  1. Start ArcMap.
  2. If necessary, load data in the map.
  3. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Production TOC Manager.
  4. Click the drop-down arrow on the Production TOC Manager toolbar and choose a layer group.
    • All Layers—Includes all layers currently in the table of contents, whether or not they are currently visible in the map
    • Point Layers—Only includes the point layers in the table of contents, whether or not they are currently visible in the map
    • Line Layers—Only includes the line layers in the table of contents, whether or not they are currently visible in the map
    • Polygon Layers—Only includes the polygon layers in the table of contents, whether or not they are currently visible in the map
    • Group Layers—Only includes the grouped layers in the table of contents, whether or not they are currently visible in the map
    • Visible Layers—Only includes layers in the table of contents that are currently visible in the map
    • Annotation Layers—Only includes annotation layers in the table of contents, whether or not they are currently visible in the map
  5. Click the Show Selected Layer Type button Show Selected Layer Type on the Production TOC Manager toolbar.
