Zoom to a feature

You can easily get detailed geographic information about a feature layer in your map by viewing the layer's attribute table. An attribute table includes information about each geographic feature in the layer. You can zoom to a feature in your map by clicking the corresponding record in the attribute table.

  1. Click the Show map contents icon to display the Contents pane.
  2. On the Contents pane, click the arrow to the right of the feature layer for which you want to view feature information.
  3. Click View records.

    Attribute information for the features in the layer is displayed in an attribute table.

  4. In the attribute table, find the record corresponding to the feature to which you want the map to zoom.
  5. Click the icon in the Go to column for the record.

    The map zooms to the feature and the feature flashes briefly.
