Activating and deactivating masking

The Activate Masking tool allows you to turn feature masking on and off while working in ArcMap. Deactivating masking can increase draw speed significantly.

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. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Aeronautical Editing.
3. Click the Activate Masking button on the Aeronautical Editing toolbar.

   Masking is activated.

   注意:

   Although this button can turn masking on, it does not set up masking properties. To select features to be masked and other masking options, right-click the data frame in the table of contents and click Advanced Drawing Options. You can set up and save your masking settings using the Feature Display Settings tool.

4. Click the Activate Masking button again to deactivate masking.
