Visibility range for layer

EricBianchi1 — Tue, 15 Mar 2016 18:57:01 GMT

I am working on a project that is intended to show parking restrictions. I am using my university's parking restriction layer and it will only appear when I zoom into a certain level. Is there a way to fix it so that I can view the graphical layer at a more zoomed out level? The visibility slide bar doesn't seem to do anything.

Is this something that I have the ability to even edit, or would that be something that was set and cannot be changed?

It depends on how you are accessing the data. If it is from a Service, you may not be able to change this behavior yourself.

However, if you are viewing a feature class in a mxd, then you can usually alter it. For example, a Scale Dependency may have been set, which suppresses the data display outside a preset scale (usually to improve performance and to prevent the display from getting cluttered).

Setting drawing layer visibility—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop for within ArcMap... for other software the keyword phrase is layer visibility and scale , it may have been set already and you will have to change it if you can
