Hiding a selected layer type
When you are working with several layers in a map, you may need to hide some of them so you can focus on a specific group of data layers in the map. For example, to work with features in the map, the annotation layers could be hidden so the underlying features are not obscured.
- Start ArcMap.Tipp:
If the ArcMap - Getting Started dialog box appears, you can open a new or existing map document. You can also check the Do not show this dialog box in the future check box and click Open.
- If necessary, load data in the map.
- On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Production TOC Manager.
-
Click the drop-down arrow on the Production TOC Manager toolbar and choose a layer group.
