Appending equipment features to structure-equipment relationships

As part of maintaining data, you may need to add new equipment features to existing structure-equipment relationships. This could be the result of new equipment being installed on an existing structural feature.

1. Start ArcMap.
2. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Production Editing.
3. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Nautical.
4. Click the Production Start Editing button on the Production Editing toolbar.

   Note:

   The Manage Features and Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes windows automatically appear when you start an edit session using the Production Start Editing tool.

   Tip:

   If the Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes window does not appear when you start an edit session, click the Show/Hide Attributes button on the Manage Features window.

5. Click the Relationship Manager button on the Nautical toolbar.

   The Relationship Manager window appears. It is blank by default.

6. You can choose to customize your view. Go to Working with the Relationship Manager window for more information.
7. Select the features you want to add from the data frame.

   Tip:

   Potential equipment features that are spatially colocated with an existing structure feature are listed under the structure feature in the Relationship Manager window. You can add them to the structure feature by right-clicking and clicking Add to Structure.

8. On the main menu, click Edit > Copy.
9. Right-click the structure feature to append to in the Relationship Manager window and click Append.
10. If there are potential equipment features, you can optionally append them by right-clicking the potential equipment features and clicking Add to Structure.
