Exploring the related objects of a feature

This topic applies to ArcEditor and ArcInfo only.

In ArcMap, you can explore what objects are related to any particular object in your geodatabase. For instance:

• When you identify a feature in your map, you can see the objects related to that feature in the Identify Results dialog box. If the related object that you navigate to in the Identify Results dialog box has objects related to it through other relationships, you can continue to navigate to those related objects.
• When you select one or more rows or features in a table, you can open the related table and select the related objects.

Steps:

1. In ArcMap, click the Identify tool .
2. In the Identify Results dialog box, click the Layers drop-down arrow and click the layer in your map whose features you want to identify.
3. Click the feature on the map.
4. Double-click the feature in the left panel of the Identify Results dialog box.
5. Double-click the relationship path label.

The related objects are listed below the path label.

6. Click the related object whose properties you want to explore.

Tip:

If the related object that you navigate to in the Identify Results dialog box has objects related to it through other relationships, you can continue to navigate to those related objects.
