  3. If applicable, set the geographic scope of the download in the Search Radius group.
  4. Click OK to start the download.

    • Select Options.
    • Click Options on the Internet Download Configuration dialog.

    The Options dialog displays.

  2. Click Internet Download.
  3. DisableAlways show the Download Parameters dialog. Then, when you click Automatic, the Download Parameters dialog will not display unless the project spans more than 8 hours.

    Note: If your project does not include the parameters needed by the data provider site, the Download Parameters dialog will still display, even if you have the option toggled.
