    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.

  6. Click the Select Features button Select Features By Rectangle and select at least one polyline feature.
  7. Click the Production Flip Selection button Production Flip Selection on the Production Editing Advanced toolbar.
