I would like to be able to select a group of layers that would enable users to select one from many layers. This would work similar to HTML form radio buttons. There are situations in which the map is confusing when the user selects more than one layer at a time. It would be nice to be able to create groups of layers controlled by radio buttons. Is there a way to do this now? Have I overlooked something?</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 07 Jul 2016 21:43:28 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/massively-turn-on-or-off-layers-toggle-visibility/m-p/300339#M967 LarryHeard 2016-07-07T21:43:28Z Re: Massively turn on or off layers (toggle visibility) https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/massively-turn-on-or-off-layers-toggle-visibility/m-p/300340#M968 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>well, a checkbox is used to turn off/on whole groups regardless of settings within a group and then there is the ultimate switching dataframes</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 07 Jul 2016 21:50:39 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/massively-turn-on-or-off-layers-toggle-visibility/m-p/300340#M968 DanPatterson_Retired 2016-07-07T21:50:39Z Re: Massively turn on or off layers (toggle visibility) https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/massively-turn-on-or-off-layers-toggle-visibility/m-p/300341#M969 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hold down your &lt;Ctrl&gt; key, then use your mouse (or similar) to click one of the layer visibility boxes.&nbsp; All will turn off or turn on based on the original status of the one you clicked.&nbsp; Experiment with that approach in and out of group layers.</P><P></P><P>edit:&nbsp; hmmm...&nbsp; and what <A href="https://community.esri.com/migrated-users/19932">Darren Wiens</A>​ said right up there at top.&nbsp; His is the correct answer.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 07 Jul 2016 22:26:57 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/massively-turn-on-or-off-layers-toggle-visibility/m-p/300341#M969 TimMinter 2016-07-07T22:26:57Z
