ToggleLayers ArcGIS Pro Add-in

Overview

The ToggleLayers add-in for ArcGIS Pro allows users to quickly toggle the visibility of up to five layers using dedicated buttons or customizable keyboard shortcuts. Users can configure which layers to control via a settings menu, and these settings persist between sessions.

Installation

1. Download the Add-in (.esriAddInX)

https://github.com/JonathanMagson/ToggleLayers/blob/main/ToggleLayers.esriAddinX

2. Install the Add-in

  • Double-click the .esriAddInX file to install it.
  • Follow the prompts in the ArcGIS Pro Add-in Manager.

3. Launch ArcGIS Pro

  • The Toggle Layers tab should appear in the ribbon.

Usage

1. Open the Layer Settings Dockpane

  • In the Toggle Layers tab of the Add-in ribbon, click Layer Settings.
  • This opens the Layer Settings Dockpane, where you can enter the layer names (as they appear in contents) of up to five layers.

2. Toggle Layers On/Off

  • Click one of the Toggle Layer buttons (1–5) to show or hide the corresponding layer.

3. Assign Keyboard Shortcuts

To quickly toggle layers using hotkeys, configure keyboard shortcuts in ArcGIS Pro:

  1. Go to
    Project > Options > Customize the Ribbon > Keyboard Shortcuts
  2. Click "Add New Shortcut"
  3. Search for the Toggle Button IDs:
    • Search for "1" and assign a desired shortcut (e.g., Ctrl+1).
    • Repeat for "2", "3", "4", and "5" to assign hotkeys for each toggle button.
  4. Click OK to save your shortcuts.

Now, pressing the assigned hotkeys will toggle the corresponding layer visibility without using the ribbon.
