Tile Package Scales

Question

Hey

I have created a tiled package from a tile cach with the following scale levels:

50000
35000
20000
15000
10000

But when i use the tile package in my wpf program i am not able to zoom in more than 1:10000, if i do, all the layers in the tile package dissapears. Am i missing something here? Does the scale level impact the zoom level in a tile package? And im trying to avoid one more scale level because the tile package grows so much bigger in size, but still i want to be able to zoom in more than 10000 with the layers in the tile package visible.

I would also check the maps set minimum extent 
 ... even with the basemaps you sometime have to adjust this to ensure the users have a decent experience

Hi Johan,

I know this post is over a year old now, but I thought I'd post the solution to this in case anyone else runs in to this issue (as I did). I've outlined a fairly simple workaround on my blog. You can get to it here:

Creating a Tile Cache or Package that is Visible at All Scales‌

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Johan, If you want to zoom in further than the scale defined in the TPK, you can set the MinimumResolution for the map based on the map units per pixel for your desired scale. If the base map is no longer visible a scale greater than 1:10,000 there may be rules set in the original MXD. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Displaying_layers_at_certain_scales/00s500000008000000/
