SetLayerScaleFlag()

Summary

Sets the autoscale flag for a layer.

 

Syntax

SetLayerScaleFlag(string layer_name, boolean scale_flag)

 

Argument	Contents
layer_name	The name of the layer
scale_flag	If "True" (the default) turns autoscale on for the layer. If "False" turns autoscale off for the layer.

 

Notes

• SetLayerScaleFlag() can turn autoscaling on or off for a layer without clearing the autoscale settings from the layer.

• Use GetLayerScaleFlag() to get the autoscale flag for a layer.

Example

// Set manhole cover points to display only between 1:1000 and 1:200,000

SetLayerScale("Manholes", 1000, 200000)

// Turn off the autoscale so the layer displays at all scales

SetLayerScaleFlag("Manholes", "False")
