Step 2. Click the left-mouse button and drag the "Countbnd.shp" on the top in the Table of Contents. We need to make the "Countbnd.shp" clear so we are able to see the "Mcdnew.shp". These next steps are similar to Lesson 6.

Step 3.Double-click on the green area of "Countbnd.shp" in the Table of Contents. When the Symbol Selector opens double-click on Hollow.
