Appending slave features to master-slave relationships (Maritime Charting)

As part of maintaining data, you may need to add new slave features to existing master-slave relationships. This could be the result of new equipment being installed on an existing structural feature.

Steps:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Production Editing.
3. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Nautical.
4. Click the Production Start Editing button on the Production Editing toolbar.
   Note:

   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.

   Tip:

   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 on the Manage Features window.

5. Click the Relationship Manager button on the Nautical toolbar.

   The Relationship Manager window appears. It is blank by default.

6. You can choose to customize your view. Go to Working with the Relationship Manager window for more information.
7. Select the feature(s) you want to add from the data frame.
   Tip:

   Potential slave features that are spatially co-located with an existing master feature are listed under the master feature in the Relationship Manager window. You can add them to the master feature by right-clicking and clicking Add to Master.

8. On the main menu, click Edit > Copy.
9. Right-click the master feature to append to in the Relationship Manager window and click Append.
10. If there are potential slave features, you can optionally append them by right-clicking the potential slave features and clicking Add to Master.
