Enable OpenGL Hardware Acceleration

Check the box next to Enable OpenGL hardware acceleration to use the OpenGL driver included with your video card. If you experience any difficulties when creating 3D surface maps or see errors or crashes when displaying the 3D surface map, uncheck the box.

Don't Change ID Size with Zoom

Clicking the Don't change ID size with zoom check box makes ID text, shown with Show Objects, stay the same size when zooming in and out. Enabling this option is useful for keeping ID's readable when looking at a map at different zoom levels. This option does not lock the on-screen size of drawn text.

 

Don't Change Symbol Size with Zoom

Clicking the Don't change symbol size with zoom check box makes point symbols stay the same size while zooming in and out. Enabling these options is useful for keeping symbols visually appealing  when looking at a map at different zoom levels. This option does not lock the on-screen size of symbol map symbols.
