Esri_MapLayer provides options to manage the map or image layers in the current drawing. After selecting a specific (or all) layers, the options available depend on the capabilities of the selection.
Enter the capitalized letters from the option list below to select the following options:
- Dynamic—Press D to control whether the map layer is redrawn to fit the current map display when a significant change is made to the AutoCAD view, or whether the map layer is only drawn to fit the screen when requested. Setting the dynamic parameter to false allows you to pan and zoom without the map layer redrawing. This option has the following suboptions:
True | Press T to select true, and the selected map will be refreshed from the server whenever the current view extent changes to optimize the display.
False | Press F to select false, and the map will not dynamically update, but can be redrawn on demand with the Redraw option.
- eXtract | Press X to extract the portion of the selected map layer currently displayed to a local AutoCAD raster image entity saved in the drawing. The selected map layer is not removed. You will be prompted with a file dialog box to save a copy of the image to a file folder.
- Redraw | Press R to force a refresh of the maps from the server based on the current view extent.
- reMove | Press M to remove the selected map layer from the drawing. You will be prompted to enter the index number of the map you want to remove.
- Sublayer-visibility | Press S to turn on or off the visibility of sublayers of the selected map. You will be prompted for the index number of the map sublayer to turn that layer's visibility on or off.
- Transparency | Press T to set the percentage of transparency of the selected map image. 0 = opaque; 100 = transparent.
- Visible | Press V to turn on or off the visibility of the map layer.
- Zoom | Press Z to zoom to the geographic extent of the map layer.
