2.2.1 Editing Display Levels for Roads (for clients without .psf mapping
data)
Select the Setup > Map > Advanced >
Display Levels > 1:2,000,000 Roads
command to open the 1:2,000,000 Road
Display Levels menu.
This menu has nine categories reflecting
different levels, or subsets, of roads. The
Cutoff Range area lets you activate the
databases at different ranges so that an
appropriate amount of detail appears,
regardless of range. For example, interstates
are appropriate at any range, so they receive a
high value, like 999. Residential roads, on the
other hand, are only appropriate when you
zoom in close, so they receive a low value,
like 10. This configuration results in
interstates appearing on any map with a range of less than 999 miles - in effect, on every map.
Residential roads only appear when your map range is less than 10 miles - a more appropriate
activation range. These ranges are adjustable to suit your needs.
Select the Setup > Map > Advanced >
Display Levels > City Streets Roads
command to open the City Street Display
Levels menu. Although City Streets Roads
is a separate menu with six levels, levels 1
through 4 (Interstates, Divided Highways,
Highways, and Roads) are roughly
comparable to the 1:2,000,000 database.
Streets and Minor Streets occupy levels 5
and 6 and use the City Streets database.
This prevents the database from placing
much detail at longer ranges.
