Setting the disk cache format

Available with 3D Analyst license.

There are two formats for disk caching: JPEG (for minimum storage space) and DXT (for best performance). Generally speaking, a JPEG disk cache format consumes less disk space, and a DXT cache improves rendering speed.

Learn more about the disk cache formats for ArcGlobe

Follow the steps below to specify the disk format for each layer in your ArcGlobe document:

  1. In the table of contents, right-click the layer whose cache properties you want to change and click Properties.
  2. Click the Cache tab.
  3. In the Raster data options, click the combo box and choose either Jpeg or Dxt.
  4. Click OK.

    The disk cache for this layer is stored in the selected format.

Tip:
  • Switching between disk cache formats invalidates the existing cache data.
  • The Quality slider in the Raster data section has no effect on DXT caches.
