<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>OK. That's better functionality
then. Unfortunately, Studio doesn't work that way. If you last
viewed a layer in split or preview mode, then open a newly created default
layer, it will attempt to draw the extents in the preview window without
prompting the user. Anyway, it would still be nice if you could warn
users somehow before they try to display large feature sources - but would not
be a critical piece of functionality at this point.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The graphical display only shows the
geometric properties for the given feature class after the user selects the
“show details” link beside the geometric property. In a way, this
is similar to how you described the default view to be set up in Edit mode for
Studio. It does not force the user to view the map unless he/she chooses to.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>I like the overall functionality and think
that it will be very useful. One thing to watch out for, however, is
graphically displaying the extents of a large feature source. This is not
always desirable since it can cause a strain on MGOS server and take
excessively long to return the map view. The same problem already exists
in Studio when you view a default layer definition in split or preview mode
(one of the reasons I would like to have the ability in Studio to specify that
my default view is always Edit mode). So, perhaps you could query
the feature source to determine the number of features and then tell the user
"This feature source is very large, are you sure you want to preview
it?"</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
