Advanced Features

This area is reserved for accessing advanced features of the IMS. Currently, it offers the ability to zoom to features, print formatted maps, and buffer parcels.

Zoom to Feature - This function allows you to seelcta feature from a drop-down list in a new window and zoom to the map to the afeature.

Print Map - This function allows you to print an 8.5 x 11 landscape oriented map.  When selected, a new options window should appear that allows you to select things such as locator map, legend, title, etc.  After hitting the print map button, a new map will draw in that the browser window.  Print this map by selecting File | Print from the browser menu.  Verify that the page layout is set to "landscape" and page  margins are set to 0.5" to ensure the highest quality print.

Buffer Parcels - Buffering is the process of selecting all the features within a given distance of a given feature.  In this case, buffering allows the user to select all the parcels within a specified distance of a parcel (up to 1,000 ft.).  This option only appears if an active parcel is selected in the map.  The active parcel is identified as bright yellow and usually has a red triangle in it.
