Do you have the ESRI URL about "You can choose any width and height that is a power of 2" ?

If your have this info please send the URL to me.

lxl- This post was taken from some of the new 9.3 documentation we are writing, so I don't think this fact has been documented anywhere other than this blog. All of this information applies to 9.2, though and is enforced in the software. Specifically, if you open the Generate Map Server Cache tool and try to enter anything other than 128, 256, 512, or 1024 as the tile width or height, a red icon with an X will appear stating that you have entered an invalid value.

>If you want to cache only a certain area of your map, creating your cache based on a custom full extent is a better option than changing the tiling scheme origin. Can you explain how this is done please? Is it a case of changing the data frame properties in the mxd as there doesn't seem to be any options to do this in the Generate Map Server Cache tool? Many thanks Gareth

Gareth- Yes. In the Data Frame properties, click the Data Frame tab. There's a place where you can specify "Extent Used by Full Extent Command". Whatever extent you select here will be used by the Generate Map Server Cache tool.

We have found that you can "zoom-out" beyond the full-extent of the map-cache. The map shows a white "image" (or is it just the background?). We would like to set the max extent. I'm wondering if the fact that the tiling scheme origin, which was chosen by the software (we use the MXD's custom extent as you recommend), controls how far out the user can "zoom-out" on a Map Control.

This post explains ways to access cached map service tiles programmatically. This is useful if you don’t

Is ArcGIS server 9.1 can provide the tiling scheme?
