Creating a feature template

Disponible con licencia de Production Mapping.

If feature templates do not already exist in your map, they are automatically created the first time you start editing. One template is created for each symbol on the layer, and attributes used to define the symbol are automatically populated.

There are times when you may need to update attributes on the template that are not used to define the symbol. With the Feature Manager, you can select an existing template and update its attributes or create a new feature template with similar attributes. You can also create a template with the attributes of a selected feature.

1. Inicie ArcMap.
2. Si es necesario, cargue datos en el mapa.
3. En el menú principal, haga clic en Personalizar > Barras de herramientas > Edición de producción.
4. Haga clic en el botón Iniciar edición de producción en la barra de herramientas Edición de producción.

   Nota:

   Las ventanas Administrar entidades, Crear atributos, Actualizar atributos o Atributos de metadatos aparecen automáticamente al iniciar la sesión de edición con la herramienta Iniciar edición de producción.

   Sugerencia:

   Si las ventanas Crear atributos, Actualizar atributos o Atributos de metadatos no aparecen al iniciar la sesión de edición, haga clic en el botón Mostrar/ocultar atributos de la ventana Administrar entidades.

5. Do one of the following to choose a template to use as the base for the stored template:

   To use a feature layer template as the base	Click the Create tab on the Manage Features window, then choose the template you want to use as the base for the stored template.
   To use a selected feature as the base	Select features in the map, then select the feature you want to use as the base on the Update tab on the Manage Features window.

6. Change the attribute values for the template as needed.
7. Click Apply on the Create Attributes or Update Attributes window.
8. Click Save Template on the Create Attributes or Update Attributes window.

   The Save Template dialog box appears.

9. Type a name for the template in the Name text box.
10. Optionally, type a description of the template in the Description text box.

    Nota:

    If you choose to use an existing feature template, the name for the existing template is automatically set. If you keep the same name, the existing template will inherit the new attributes. If you change the template name, then a new template is created when you click OK.

11. Click OK.

    The new template appears on the Create tab on the Manage Features window.
