1. Layer Visibility Settings

   In the Layer Manager, select the layers District_L, Capital_P, and Provinces_R , right click to display the context menu, click Remove or Visible to remove or hide the layers.

2. Layer Order Settings

   Set the layer order to best display what you want to represent.

   Set the minimum visible scale of a layer to a scale at which most matrix labels are hidden to avoid overlap when the map is zoom out.

4. Full Extent Settings

   Since the neighboring area are contained in the base map, if you keep the default full extent settings, the region of China takes up a small portion of the window if you perform the full extent operation. To have China well represented on the map, you need to customize the full extent.

   In the Ribbon>Map Properties>Extents group, check the Full Extent box to enable the buttonDropDown to the right, click the drop-down arrow and click Rectangle in the drop-down list that appear. Draw a rectangle in the map window to set it as the full extent.

1. After configuring the base map and the theme, you can save the map and the workspace through Ribbon>Start>Workspace>Save.
