Add data more quickly in ArcMap

May 18th, 2010 by Stephanie Blazey

Just a quick little tip I picked up for ArcMap: under the Tools > Options menu, on the General tab, you can uncheck the “Make newly added layers visible by default” box.  This is especially useful when you are adding many layers or large datasets to your map, because you won’t have to wait for them all to draw.

Make newly added layers (not) visible by default.
