Setting Up Your System
2.2.3 Setting the Enable Range for City Streets (for clients without
.psf mapping data)
Select the Setup > Map > Advanced > Display Levels > City
Streets Range command to open the City Street Maximum
Enable Range menu. This menu lets you set the range threshold
at which the system will move between the 1:2,000,000
database and the City Streets database. If you specify 20, for
example, the system will use the 1:2,000,000 database at ranges
greater than 20 miles. At ranges less than 20 miles, it will use
the City Streets database. Setting this value too high can result
in excessive clutter and slower processing times. The City Streets database is very large and is
usually too great for any computer to handle at ranges above 20 miles.
You can override the range by selecting the City Streets Use control and its
associated Lock control on the View Map Features panel.
2.3 Adding Water-Fill Points (for clients without .psf
mapping data)
The main water database contains only the outlines of bodies of water. While water bodies
normally appear as solid, blue shapes, you may have to use the Setup > Map > Advanced >
Water Fill command to fill in a water shape.
The Water Fill command only appears for clients that do not use .psf data
for mapping. Clients with .psf data should use the Setup > Map > Map
Layers command detailed in Section 2.1 to edit the appearance of water.
1. Use the Setup > Colors command to verify that the water color is correct. Adjust as
required.
2. Use the Zoom Out option to display the body of water in question. Note in the following
example how the river body, bounded by the dark, bolded lines, is empty.
