Positioning layers in the map hierarchy

Several options exist that allow you to organize the hierarchy of layers and sublayers.
Note
  1. The layer at the bottom of the list in the Map Layers pane is displayed at the top of the stack in the Map View.
  2. You can move a parent layer up or down in the hierarchy and you can do the same with sublayers in relation to their parent, however, you cannot move sublayers between different parents.
To raise a layer one level in the hierarchy:
  • Right-click the layer or sublayer in the Map Layers pane and select Raise Layer from the pop-up menu.
To lower a layer one level in the hierarchy:
  • Right-click the layer or sublayer in the Map Layers pane and select Lower Layer from the pop-up menu.
To bring a layer to the front of the hierarchy:
  • Right-click the layer or sublayer in the Map Layers pane and select Layer to Front from the pop-up menu.
To send a layer to the back of the hierarchy:
  • Right-click the layer or sublayer in the Map Layers pane and select Layer to Back from the pop-up menu.
