Zooming to a layer's extent
A useful way of examining a study area is to zoom to a layer's extent in the display. This method is a quick and easy way of zooming in to the area of concern, particularly if you have many study areas in the 3D view.
Steps:
- Right-click the layer in the table of contents, to which you want to zoom to open the layer's context menu.
- Click Zoom To Layer.
The display zooms to the extent of the layer.
Tip:
- You can hold down the ALT key and click a layer in the table of contents as a shortcut to the Zoom To Layer function.
- You can zoom to the extent of multiple layers by selecting them while holding down the SHIFT key in the table of contents, then right-clicking to zoom to their combined extent.
