In the View Entire Layer dialog box, you can pick an individual layer to view or select All Layers and view the entire map. This option is important because your map might contain layers that cover different amounts of territory.

For example, you have a map containing New York counties and highways, and ZIP Codes and streets for Utica. If you choose All Layers, MapInfo Pro will zoom you out to see the entire map. But if you are only interested in viewing Utica streets, you should pick that layer. Then MapInfo Pro will zoom out only as far as needed to display those streets.

Many maps, such as MapInfo's StreetInfo maps, are so large that View Entire Layer take a long time to display when zoomed out all the way. We suggest that you use View Entire Layer, then interrupt the display of the map by pressing the Esc key or by pressing the right mouse-button and zoom in on the section you are interested in.

View entire layer

From the View Entire Layer list, choose a specific layer or All layers.
