Linking SchematicFeatureClassName in the input XML files with schematic feature classes in the schematic dataset

By default, if the Automatic schematic feature class creation option is not checked, the FeatureClassName in your input XML file must match those defined in your schematic dataset. If they don't match, you can define a correspondence between those found in the XML file and those specified in the schematic dataset through the Schematic feature classes mapping section that is available on the Schematic Builder Properties dialog box.

The correspondence can be specified as follows:

Schematic feature class mapping section—content sample#1

FeatureClassName1_InXMLFile=FeatureClassName1_InSchDataset
FeatureClassName2_InXMLFile= FeatureClassName 2_InSchDataset
This continues for each FeatureClassNameK_InXMLFile schematic feature class name contained in the XML file you want to be matched with the FeatureClassNameN_InSchDataset schematic feature class in the schematic dataset.

A script attribute can also be set in this section to dispatch elements, described in an XML file and related to a particular FeatureClassNameK_InXMLFile, into several FeatureClassNameN_InSchDataset. For example, when specifying the following script :

Schematic feature class mapping section—content sample#2

Stations=StationsFeeder1 (Feeder="1")
Stations=StationsFeeder2 (Feeder="2")
Stations=StationsFeeder3 (Feeder="3")
The StationsFeeder1, StationsFeeder2, and StationsFeeder3 schematic feature classes in the schematic dataset will be used in the input XML file for Stations elements for which the Feeder property value is 1, 2, or 3, respectively.
