IGMxDefaultLayers Interface

Provides access to Default Layers for New Documents.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Desktop. Requires 3D Analyst Extension.

Description

The IGMxDefaultLayers interface contains methods/properties to customize the default layers which are loaded on opening a new ArcGlobe document.

NewDocumentDefaultLayersSetting property sets the type of default layers for new documents to be custom supplied (any user specified layers in the TOC), system supplied (default layers, which ship with ArcGlobe), or none. The UseTOCAsCustomDefaultLayersForNewDocuments method sets the custom supplied default layers for new documents to be same as layers in the TOC of the currently open document. This allows the user's to provide layers of their choice to be displayed when a new ArcGlobe is opened up. The user can also change or overwrite the default layers, shipped with ArcGlobe, by using the UseTOCAsSystemDefaultLayersForNewDocuments method. This method sets the system supplied default layers for new documents to be same as layers in the TOC of the currently open document.

You can also set the system supplied default layers to be the same as layers in the TOC of a document by running the following command in the MSDOS prompt command line.

<path to install location> <space> /Arcglobe.exe <space> /SystemDefaultLayers <space>  <Full document path>

For e.g., "C:\Program Files\arcgis\bin\ArcGlobe.exe" /SystemDefaultLayers "C:\Program Files\arcgis\ArcGlobeData\Default_Document.3dd"

The example above can be used to revert back to the system supplied default layers shipped with ArcGlobe. The default document (Default_Document.3dd) used, can be found in the ArcGlobeData folder, which is parallel to the "Bin" folder.
