Problems zooming deeper than basmap allows

DougRulison — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:47:31 GMT

I have a very detailed mxd I am trying to publish at very large scales. By detailed I mean treatment plant configuration that shows all the different appurtenances on the piping. I need to scale down to 1:30 or similar and don't really need more than 1:20,000. It seems the basemaps provided (Bing/Google) limit my zoom scales at 1:200. I can't go beyond that. It is not enough detail for our mapping purposes.

Is there a way around the Bing/Google basemaps because I do have aerial photos I can use if needed. Or is there something in my Service editor parameters I am missing to set. When I get to the map caching section within the editor window I can shoose between dynamic and cached but all other parameters are greyed out. In the advanced cache window the scales shown are not what I would like to use but I cannot modify them or add my larger scales. Shouldn't the dynamic setting allow me to zoom to a very large or small scale regardless of caching?

thanks in advance,

Doug

Hi Doug,

You might find this post helpful. Note that you would need to create a very simple add-in behavior for it to work. As for basemaps:

Only ArcGIS Server Cached (Tiled) map services, Bing Maps, and OpenStreetMap are supported in the Basemap gallery.

Dynamic map services are not supported for use as basemaps.

Hope that helps,
Katy

Katy,

I need a blank background basemap and cannot get the zoom levels down to a single parcel level, 1" = 50' or so.

I have created a cached basemap and would like the zoom to match that of the Bing road map. My zoom levels in the service are down to 1 to 100. When I add this service as a basemap the maximum zoom is constrained matching the other canned basemaps not the settings I have created in the service.

I don't have the knowledge or tools to create a "behavior" and do not understand the explanations in the help documentation.

Any help would be appreciated.

Andy

All,

Rich Z. from our team created an add-in that you can use for this purpose. See here: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=0b2c8fcac5624bdd92f9fef15fdb96ef.

This should have everything you need, but you may need to open the solution in Visual Studio and compile it to get the xap file. Then just upload the add-in (xap file) to your Application Builder.

Hope that helps,
Katy
