What is Schematic Dataset Editor?

Schematic Dataset Editor provides functions to create, modify, and visualize all the schematic dataset resources. It greatly reduces the learning curve of defining and customizing specific dataset parameters and allows you to quickly customize and tailor an existing configuration to a new set of requirements.

Schematic Items and Editor windows in Schematic Dataset Editor

The Schematic Dataset Editor Graphical User Interface is organized around two main windows:

Schematic Dataset Editor windows
  1. The Schematic Items window at the left lets you navigate among all the schematic dataset resources specified in your schematic dataset.
  2. The Editor window at the right concerns all parameters related to the schematic resource currently selected in the Schematic Items window.

    These parameters are organized in a set of different tabs depending on the type of the resource selected in the Schematic Items windows. For example, when a schematic diagram template is currently selected in the Schematic Items window, all its configuration parameters display through four tabs in the Editor window: the Properties, Associations, Layouts, and Rules tabs. For a schematic feature class, only two tabs display in the Editor window—the Properties and Associations tabs.

There are two main ways to visualize schematic dataset resources in the Schematic Items window:

NoteNote:

With the Tiles view mode, you can display each resource item with normal icons (Tiles), larger icons (Large Icons), smaller icons (Small Icons), or an arrangement that lets you see different kinds of information about each resource (Details).

TipTip:

To change the way the Schematic Items window content displays, use the Views button in the Schematic Dataset Editor toolbar. Each time you click the Views button, the Schematic Items window changes the way it displays your schematic dataset resources, alternating between Project Tree view, Tiles view, Large Icons view, Small Icons view, and a view called Details that shows several columns of information about the schematic dataset items. You can also click the arrow next to the Views button and directly click the menu item corresponding to the type of arrangement you wish.
