To avoid obstructing information on the map, adjust a map layer’s opacity and set map object icons to automatically scale with the zoom level.

1. In the Map designer task, do one of the following:
   • In the toolbar, click Map layers ().
   • In the menu, click Map > Layers.
   The Layers dialog box opens and lists all available layers for the map. Only selected layers are visible on the map.
2. Click the name of the layer you want to modify and click Modify layer ().
   
3. In the Modify layer dialog box, drag the Opacity slider until you get the desired effect on the map.
   
   
   
4. Control when map objects are visible on a map by doing one of the following:
   • Set the Visible from zoom percentages to define the range of zoom levels at which a map object layer is visible.
   • Select Auto scale to automatically scale map objects on a layer as the zoom level changes.
     NOTE: Auto scale is only available on geographic and georeferenced image maps. For more information on how to georeference a map, see Georeferencing a map image.
5. Repeat with other layers if necessary.
6. In the Map designer toolbar, click Save ().
