Unsuppressing features

Organizations sometimes need a way to suppress a feature so it can be ignored by the export and editing processes without actually deleting it from the geodatabase. To accomplish this, the Suppress and UnSupress tools allow you to mark a feature as suppressed or unsuppressed by setting an attribute on a feature. By setting a feature as suppressed, you are effectively removing it from the edit session by making it not visible when used in conjunction with the Toggle Suppress tool.

There are three Suppress tools that work in conjunction with each other located on the Nautical toolbar.

• Toggle Suppress—Toggles the visibility in the ArcMap session to hide suppressed features
• Suppress—Sets the selected features to be suppressed by populating the PLTS_SUPPRESS field = 1 (suppressed)
• UnSuppress—Sets the selected features to be unsuppressed by populating the PLTS_SUPPRESS field = 0 (suppressed)

手順:

1. Start ArcMap.
   ヒント:

   If the ArcMap - Getting Started dialog box appears, you can open a new or existing map document. You can also check the Do not show this dialog box in the future check box and click Open.

2. On the main menu, click Customize → Toolbars → Production Editing.
3. Click the Production Start Editing button on the Production Editing toolbar.
   メモ:

   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.

   ヒント:

   If the Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes window does not appear when you start an edit session, click the Link Feature Manager To Attributes Window button on the Manage Features window.

4. Click the Select Features button on the Tools toolbar.
   ヒント:

   You can also click the Edit tool on the Production Editing toolbar.

5. Select a feature or group of features to be unsuppressed.
   メモ:

   To select a suppressed feature, you must deactivate the Toggle Suppress button.

6. On the main menu, click Customize → Toolbars → Nautical.
7. Click the Nautical menu on the Nautical toolbar and click UnSuppress.

The selected feature becomes unsuppressed, and the attribute PLTS_SUPPRESS is changed to 0 (unsuppressed).
