3. Set your GetMap pixel limits:
• Max Width - Max Width specifies the maximum number of pixels for a GetMap request in the X
direction.
• Max Height - Max Height specifies the maximum number of pixels for a GetMap request in the Y
direction.
The GetMap request is designed to retrieve the highest resolution map image as is necessary to
render the image on the screen, for a printer, or for an export file. This option prevents the request
from going higher than the specified values. Different servers have different limits, so you can set
the limit that works best for your environment.
You can also use this option to shorten the WMS map retrieval time, but remember that the
resulting image will display at a lower resolution. Note:
4. Click Servers to open the WMS Servers List dialog box, where you can add, edit, and delete WMS
servers.
5. Click OK to close the dialogs and save your settings.
Unfortunately, servers do not report their limits to us, so if the GetMap request fails, it means that you
have entered a value that is too large. There are large GetMap requests when you are printing or exporting
windows containing WMS images. This happens because printing and exporting occurs at larger sizes
and/or higher resolutions than on-screen display requires.
Setting the Geocoding Server Preferences
You can get more information about setting up a geocoding server in Setting up a Geocoding Server .
A table must be open to enable the Geocode using Server menu item.
To set the geocoding server preferences:
1. On the Options menu, point to Preferences and click Web Services to open the Web Services
Preferences dialog box.
2. Click the Geocode tab to display the Geocoding server options.
This tab sets the geocoding server timeout and maintenance options.
3. Set any of the following preferences for your server:
• Offset From Road - Use this field to indicate the default distance the geocoded point should be
from the road, if applicable.
• Offset From Corner - Use this field to indicate the default distance the geocoded point should be
from the corner, if applicable.
• Units - Use this field to indicate the units for the previous entries.
• Dictionary - Use this drop-down list to choose the dictionary option that you want the geocoder
to use (Address or User). These libraries exist on the service. Not all dictionary types may exist
on all services. There are a maximum of five (5) options:
• Select All Dictionaries - Select this option to use both the user and address dictionaries.
• Address Dictionary Only - Select this option to use only the service's address dictionary and
not the user's dictionary.
• User Dictionary Only - Select this option to use only the user's address dictionary and not the
service's address dictionary
• Prefer Address over User - Select this option to use the service's address dictionary before
the user's address dictionary. This option is the default.
• Prefer User over Address - Select this option to use the user's address dictionary before the
service's address dictionary.
• Number of Addresses to Batch - Use this option to specify how many addresses you want to
send to the geocoding service at a time. The number of addresses you send at a time can affect
performance.
• Default Timeout Values - Use these timeout values to set the communication parameters for the
geocoding service. You can override these defaults on a per-service basis locally by editing the
service in the Services list and specifying the override.
