Scale

Layers become visible at different scales. For instance, Lot Lines become visible at a scale of 1:6,000, Public Streets at 1:25,000 and Parks are visible at any scale. The scale you are currently at is always shown in the Status Bar. In the image below, scale is 1:16,923. You can use the zoom tools or the right-click menu to change your scale.

To find out the scale that a specific layer becomes visible, see About Data or use the Documentation Index to look for a layer by name.
