• Create Workspace File from Selected Layer(s) - This option allows you to generate a workspace just
containing the selected layer(s) and their display options. This workspace can later be loaded with the
File->Load Workspace menu command.
• Create Map Catalog from Selected Layer(s) - This option allows you to generate a map catalog file
containing the selected layer(s). This map catalog can later be loaded with the File->Open Data File
menu command.
• Zoom to Selected Layer(s) - This causes the view to be zoomed such that the full extents of the
selected overlays are visible.
• Zoom to Full Detail For Layer - This causes the view to be zoomed such that a single sample/pixel in
the selected overlay will take up approximately one pixel on the screen.
• Set Group to Assign to Selected Layer(s) - This allows you to specify a group to assign the selected
layer(s) to. If layers are in a group, they will be organized under that group name in the Control
Center and you can easiliy collapse them into a single item in the list of layers and operate on all
items in the group by selecting the parent group item.
• Create Area Features From Selected Layer Bounds - This causes new rectangular area features with
the name of the overlay as the display label to be created for each selected layer in the User-Created
Features Layer. This is useful for creating an image index as the filename of the layer will also be
saved as an attribute of the area feature created from it.
• Create Point Features at Elevation Grid Cell Centers - This causes a new layer to be created for each
selected elevation grid layer with a spot elevation point feature at each grid cell center location. This
provides a handy way to edit elevation layers as you can edit the elevation attribute of the created
points or remove bad points, then create a new elevation grid from the layer.
• Create Area Features from Equal Values in Selected Layer - When a single raster or elevation grid
layer is selected (with the exception of online sources), this option appears and allows you to create
area features covering each distinct color or elevation value encountered in the raster file. This is
useful for automatically creating areas for things like land cover raster files in a vector format.
• Find Extreme (Min/Max) Elevation Values in Selected Layer(s) - This scans the selected elevation
grid layers to find the minimum and maximum elevation values and reports both the values and their
locations to the user. The complete list (up to 10,000 shared location) will be saved to a file, and a
shorter list presented to the user.
• Change View Shed Layer Color - This allows you to edit the color used to display the coverage area
for a selected view shed layer.
• Edit View Shed Parameters and Recalculate - This allows you to edit the calculation parameters for a
view shed layer and then update the results.
• Open Selected Map Folder in Windows Explorer - This causes the Windows Explorer application to
be opened to the folder containing the selected map file.
• Split Into Separate Layers Based on Description/Attribute Value - This option allows you to create
new layers by splitting the selected layer(s) into new layers based on a particular attribute value or by
the description, type, or name of each feature. The new layers will be grouped together using the
name of the original layer unless the original layer was already in a group.
• Allow Feature Selection from Selected Layer(s) - This option controls whether or not vector features
from this layer can be selected using either the Feature Info or Digitizer Tools.
• Select All Features in Selected Layer(s) with Digitizer Tool - This option causes all features in the
selected layer(s) to be selected with the Digitizer Tool.
• Close All Hidden Layers - This option causes all layers that are currently marked as hidden (i.e. have
their display checkbox unchecked) to be closed.
• Hide All Offscreen Layers - This option causes all layers that are currently completely off of the main
map view to be marked as hidden (i.e. have their display checkbox unchecked).
• Reorder Maps by Resolution/Description/Location - This option displays a dialog allowing you to
choose a method by which to reorder the maps in the list. This includes sorting alphabetically, by
