Removing a Layer from the Map?

SamKhan — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 15:08:11 GMT

I have accidently added a layer from our source ArcGIS Server which I now want to remove. I have tried "Remove Layer" from the Layers tab but it didnt do anything. I have even tried removing the content source but that layer didnt went away.

ENV: SharePoint 2010, ArcGIS Mapping for SharePoint 2010, ArcGIS Server 9.3

Are there any different steps which I need to follow?

I am very new to ArcGIS so please pardon my ignorance.

Sam.

Hi Sam:

What you might be missing is that all the buttons on the Layer and Symbols tab interact with the selected layer. To make a layer the selected layer, simply click on it in Map Contents. So the steps for removing a layer would be as follows:

1.) Start editing the Map Web Part
2.) Open Map Contents by expanding the side panel or clicking the Map Contents button the Application tab.
3.) Click the layer that you wish to remove. You should see the layer name become highlighted in Map Contents.
4.) On the Layer tab, click the Remove button. The layer should be removed.
5.) Save the web part (and the map) by clicking the OK or Apply button in the bottom right corner.

Hope this helps.
