Layer Control

The Workspace Manager application window is divided into two main sections. The layer control
window and commands are located on the left, and the map window is on the right. The layer control
window consists of the layer tree, which displays the opened map(s) and all of its accompanying
layers, and the dialog box tabs that contain map and layer settings.

The layer control features of the Workspace Manager enable you to assemble the layers of your
map and apply settings to individual layers or the entire map that govern how the layer(s) or map

Layer Control Tools

The tools across the top of the Layer Control allow you to add, move, and remove layers from the

The Remove Selected Item tool removes the selected layer from the map.
