Query - Double Click Popup not working

JosephMiller2 — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 11:33:07 GMT

I have shapefiles and layer packages loaded into my ArcGIS Explorer desktop. With the shapefiles I can double click a location on the map and a blue popup window appears that gives me the record in the shapefile attribute table that corresponds to that location. Extremely convenient and one of the key bits of functionality that I require.

BIG PROBLEM: However, when I attempt to double click on the map on a layer package that I have loaded, nothing at all happens.

If I load the shapefile instead of the layer package I can successfully double click and get attributes. BUT I cannot display a multiple class legend for that shapefile (hence the necessity of doing a layer package).

Am I doing something wrong or have I just touched upon a limitation of the software as it is currently designed?

Make sure that when you are saving your Lry files that you have HTML Popups on in ArcMap 10.

the same can be done in ArcGlobe

Thanks Bryan. I am running v.9.3.1 I will check on the HTML popups. Do you know offhand where I'm likely to find this setting option?

Ok, I got it. Many many thanks! It works like a charm now.
