Adding files to the product library using the Add Files command
While you have the ability to copy and paste files from the file system into the product library, you can also directly add them to the database as needed. Files related to different components of the product library, such as solutions, product classes, series, products, instances, and areas of interest, can be added to the database.
From the file manager, you can add one or more files to the selected level of the product library. For instance, if you are working with the VMap1 specification and have added it as a product class in the product library, you could add related files to the product library so they are in a common location.
Files that can be added to the product library include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Text (.txt)
- Portable Document Format (PDF)
- File geodatabase (.gdb)
- Personal geodatabase (.mdb)
- SQL Server database (.mdf)
- Start ArcMap.
