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.

步骤:

1. Start ArcMap.
   提示:

   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.

2. If necessary, load data in the map.
3. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Production TOC Manager.
4. Click the drop-down arrow on the Production TOC Manager toolbar and choose a layer group.

   All Layers	Includes all layers currently in the table of contents, whether or not they are currently visible in the map
   Point Layers	Only includes the point layers in the table of contents, whether or not they are currently visible in the map
   Line Layers	Only includes the line layers in the table of contents, whether or not they are currently visible in the map
   Polygon Layers	Only includes the polygon layers in the table of contents, whether or not they are currently visible in the map
   Group Layers	Only includes the grouped layers in the table of contents, whether or not they are currently visible in the map
   Visible Layers	Only includes layers in the table of contents that are currently visible in the map
   Annotation Layers	Only includes annotation layers in the table of contents, whether or not they are currently visible in the map

5. Click the Hide Selected Layer Type button on the Production TOC Manager toolbar.

All the layers in the selected layer type are unchecked in the table of contents, and they are no longer visible in the map.
