I have 20+ raster spread out on huge area so I set the scale range (out beyond, in beyond) at which raster will be shown. But when I zoom into raster A, raster B with same scale range is also rendering even though I can't see it.

I want to know if there's a way to set extent at which raster will be shown so when I zoom in raster A, raster B with the same scale range doesn't render?

  • Which software? How do you know the raster B is rendering if you do not see it?

  • I'm using ArcGIS Desktop 10.4. I know it's rendering because I can see icon of raster B getting brighter in Table of Contents

  • Do you know if anything else is happening? Does ArcGIS really use CPU for rendering something outside the view port? If you zoom to area that is outside both A and B, is your processor burning?

  • No, if I zoom out, everything's working fine.

  • Sorry, I did not mean zoom out but pan. Keep the scale at the level where rendering should happen but move to some area without data. Please verify that rendering those invisible rasters is really consuming resources of your computer.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to limit the extent in which should ArcGIS render raster layers in data view. It will render all layers that are possible to render.

However, as User30184 has mentioned, you can clip the extent in layout view - explained here.
