Hiding Polygon Shape Files within one Attribute Table

WyattCharter — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 19:22:36 GMT

Is it possible to hide specific polygon shape files within the same feature class/attribute table? I'm currently only aware of being able to check and uncheck entire feature classes at a time. I am currently building maps for a farming opertion and have my polygon files split up by crop type (rice, almonds, etc) , but I would like to be able to hide all but one polygon shape file within that crops specific feature class for field specific maps.

Yes, in ArcGIS Pro you can use a definition query to show only features that match a query.

If you want to display only one crop type for instance, you can add a 'definition query' where you would construct an expression that says "crop type = 'rice' " - when applied it will show only rice crops. You can copy/paste that layer then and then edit each definition query to show only the crops you want to show when a given layer is checked on. You find the definition query under the layer properties (when you right click on a layer, its the bottom most selection, then you will see the properties panel with the def query option as below:
