Removing slave features from a relationship

If a slave feature no longer needs to participate in a relationship, you can remove it individually using the Relationship Manager tool.

Steps:
  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 Production Start Editing on the Production Editing toolbar.
    NoteNote:

    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.

    TipTip:

    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 Show/Hide Attributes on the Manage Features window.

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

    The ~Relationship Manager~ window appears

    Relationship Manager window
  6. Expand the Master/Slave(s) tree view to see available features.
    TipTip:

    You can double-click the master or slave, and it automatically highlights the feature and zooms in to the map display so the selected feature is in the center.

  7. Right-click the slave feature you want to remove and click Remove.

    Removing slave features

    The feature is no longer in the relationship but is still in the geodatabase. Removing a feature from a relationship does not delete it.

    NoteNote:

    Upon removing the last slave feature in a relationship, a message appears informing you that the master-slave relationship will be deleted.
