For more information, see Analyzer error 00102.From quick sketches to fully finished artwork, Sketchbook goes where your creativity takes you. Publishing a graphics layer as a web layer is not supported. Some symbology settings may not be preserved. When you share a web map that contains graphics layers, the graphics layers are converted to feature collections. When saved, all graphics layer properties and symbology are preserved for use in other maps, layouts, and projects. Graphics layers can be saved as a layer file (. You can also set a custom scale, or choose to stop applying a reference scale. When this property is set, changes in scale result in graphic elements changing size relative to surrounding features. Use Masking to mask features or other graphic elements with the current graphics layer.ĭefine the Reference Scale value to determine at which scale the graphics layer appears at the intended size. These effects are not supported with graphics layers in scenes.Ĭlick the Symbology button to adjust graphic element visibility settings. Use the Swipe and Flicker effects to make comparisons to the rest of the data in the map. See Apply visual effects for more information. Click Clear Limits to draw graphics layers at all scales.Ĭlick the Transparency drop-down menu to adjust the graphics layer's transparency value or to apply layer blending to all layers beneath it in the drawing order. Set a Maximum Scale and Minimum Scale value to determine the scale range the graphics layer is visible in the map. The contents of a graphics layer cannot be edited in a scene. They can be added to scenes, but to the 2D Layers category only. Graphics layers cannot be created in scenes. To learn more, see Add graphics, text, and pictures in a layout. You can also add graphic elements directly to a layout these exist outside of graphics layers as stand-alone elements in the layout. In layouts, graphics layers in map frames can be edited when the map frame is activated. This means you can modify graphics while simultaneously performing other tasks.
Graphics layers can be separate or grouped, but graphic elements are selectable across different graphics layers. Maps can contain more than one graphics layer, with multiple types of graphic elements. Additionally, graphics layers can have a reference scale, and a label and feature weight. When you add individual graphic elements to a graphics layer, they remain positioned relative to other data if the map scale or coordinate system changes. For example, you can add rectangle and text elements to a graphics layer to highlight a property for lease and label its nearby streets. You can use graphics layers to visualize a map without creating features. They provide a way to include simple notations on a map or layout that highlight particular areas or label places. Graphics layers are containers for graphic elements-geometric shapes, lines, points, text, or pictures.
