Setting the current spatial information

Cette rubrique concerne exclusivement ArcEditor et ArcInfo.

The Feature Builder has several properties that can be customized on the General tab on the Feature Builder Settings dialog box including the precision of coordinates, the function library to use, snapping, and the spatial reference extent. The Other category contains options that allow you to set the Projection System and Scratch Spatial Reference and reset all the Feature Builder values to the default values.

Attention :

If you change the spatial reference of the scratch layers while they are added in the table of contents in an ArcMap session, you should remove the layers with the previous spatial reference and add the layers with the new one using the Add scratch data layers tool on the Feature Builder window.

Étapes :

1. Start ArcMap.
