Toggling feature layer visibility

When images, such as aerial photography, DEMs, or rasters, are loaded in the map, you may want to temporarily hide the other layers in the map so you can view the imagery. For instance, if you have a DEM loaded in ArcMap, several layers could overlay it and obstruct it in the map. By hiding the layers, you can see the full extent of the image.

  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 Toggle Feature Layers button Toggle Feature Layers on the Production TOC Manager toolbar.

    The layers in the table of contents are hidden, and the appearance of the Toggle Feature Layers button changes.

  5. Click the Toggle Feature Layers button Toggle Feature Layers on the Production TOC Manager toolbar again to show the layers.
