Deleting entire relationships

Should a feature relationship no longer be needed, you can use the Relationship Manager tool to delete the relationship while keeping the features in the geodatabase.

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. Expand the tree view to see the relationship you want to delete.

   Note:

   To delete existing collections or structure-equipment relationships, the relationships must be listed in the Relationship Manager window tree view.

8. Right-click the relationship you want to delete and click Delete Relationship.

The relationship is deleted.
