Maps or other background layers, created using the appropriate format for the GIS component being used, can be displayed behind the network in the GeoPlan window.
Web Map Service (WMS) layers and ArcGIS Server Map layers can be viewed when using the ArcGIS Desktop (formerly ArcObjects) map control.
InfoWorks WS Pro can:
- Save sets of one or more background layers in the database and then reload them later in any model. For more details, see About layer lists.
- Choose to open previously used layers each time the network is opened. For more details, see Options dialog - GeoPlan page.
The path and filename of the files containing map layers is stored. You must ensure that the files remain in the location specified, or InfoWorks WS Pro will be unable to reload them.
Note: If a map layer file is in, or below, either the
working folder or the
remote data root directory,
InfoWorks WS Pro stores the file path relative to that directory.
