topic How to turn certain layers off in ArcGIS in Developers Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/developers-questions/how-to-turn-certain-layers-off-in-arcgis/m-p/721211#M4934 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I am trying to create an python script that will allow me to create a map in ArcGIS with the capability to turn certain layers off. For example for electrical feeders i would like to give it 2 criteria (feeder and scale) so that only the feeder i want shows up on the screen. For this to happen i would need to open the layer properties for feeders and under definition i would need to create a definition query such as FeederID = 2050. I would also have to go to general properties and for scale range i would like to set it to "Show layer at all scales". I need to do this for additional items such as fuses, capacitors, reclosers that will also have to meet the 2 criteria. I do not know the commands for ArcGIS&nbsp;well enough to be able to know what the parameters are called so that i can modify them.</P><P>Hope this makes sense,&nbsp; if not let me know and i will try to explain.</P><P>Thanks for any suggestions.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 26 Dec 2019 18:12:27 GMT RickHawkins 2019-12-26T18:12:27Z How to turn certain layers off in ArcGIS https://community.esri.com/t5/developers-questions/how-to-turn-certain-layers-off-in-arcgis/m-p/721211#M4934 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I am trying to create an python script that will allow me to create a map in ArcGIS with the capability to turn certain layers off.
