Editing feature attributes

Attributes can be edited on the Create Attributes, Update Attributes, and Metadata Attributes windows. There are different purposes for changing the attributes on each window:

• On the Create Attributes window, you are changing the default attribute values that are going to be used with a feature template when it is used to create a new feature.
  注意:

  When the template values are changed, they can be saved as a new template that can later be applied to other data being produced using the same product specification.

• On the Update Attributes window, you can change the attributes for an individual feature.
  注意:

  The updated attribute values can also be saved as a template if you think the values you have assigned are going to be prevalent in your production workflow.

• On the Metadata Attributes window, you can change attributes for individual metadata favorites.
