Hello,

 

We are designing an MXD to create cache for ArcGIS for Windows Mobile. In this process,we are facing an issue of changing the symbology of a layer at different scales.

 

When we look at an ESRI online map service World_street_Map at the url http://server.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer,we see that the symbology of the layers get changed as we zoom in or out.We observed the above mentioned map service in the browser but found that it contained only one layer. So could not understand how they did it for this.

 

So, any help on this issue would be appreciated. We have to change the symbology of various layers like,Streets, divisions, areas etc at different scales, for instance, at the scale of 25000 Streets should like a single line,however, as we zoom in for scale say,1000,it should show more details. We are aware that,we may achieve something like this, by making multiple copies of the desired layer and settings different symbologies at different reference scales. However, we would like to know is there any other way of doing this.

 

Thanks in advance,
