Setting and Managing Layers > Layer Properties

Layer Properties

Managing Layer mainly introduces the setting of "Data Content" while this section presents the detailed settings of each individual layer in the order of the tabs in Layer Properties window. What is going to be introduced first is to set the path of the layer to solve the problem of file lost caused by the change of the file saving position. You can refer to the "Tools" menu > "Options" > "Use relative path name to store layer files." Then, we will present the ways to set the coordinate system of the layer to avoid setting the coordinate system layer by layer. Also, users are allowed to set the maximum and minimum scale and reference scale of layer display to view and display the map more easily. The methods to set layer symbol and selection symbol will be introduced in the section in details. The fields in the attribute table will be presented in "Setting Fields" and "Relating and Joining Table." "Feature Filter" allows users to define filter condition, create query expression then decide whether to display the filtered features on the map. At last, how to set the layer label will be introduced in the section of "Labeling."
