Practice this question and more.

A definition query can dictate the scale at which certain features will be displayed. Is this statement true?

True
False

The correct answer is: False

The statement is false because a definition query itself does not dictate the scale at which certain features will be displayed. A definition query is utilized to filter the data that is displayed in a map or scene based on a set of criteria, allowing users to focus on specific features of interest. This means that a definition query can limit the features shown, but it does not control the visibility based on scale. Scale-related visibility is managed through scale ranges within the layer properties where you can specify at what scales a layer should be visible or hidden. This is a different concept that operates independently of the filtering effect provided by a definition query. Therefore, the assertion that a definition query can dictate the scale of feature display is not accurate.
