Product classes in the solution (Aviation)

As you are building your product library, you can add more than one product class to your solutions. If you are going to be working with several different types of products in each solution, this provides a way for you to easily find each product.

The process for adding a product class is as follows:

When you are adding a product class, only the product class properties on the General pane of the New Class dialog box are required. The properties in the other panes are optional.

The General pane

The General pane contains basic properties for the product class and is divided into two sections: General and Class. The General section contains information such as the name, alias, description, and visibility status. The Class section contains information such as the product definition file and version information.

General properties

The properties in the General section allow you to define basic information about the product class and its state and include the following:

Property name

Description

Name

The name of the product class (limited to 16 characters; special characters are not valid)

开始行动开始行动:

When creating a new product class, several new tables and a feature class are inserted into the product library workspace. The length of table names are limited based on spatial database engine software, such as Oracle.

Special characters that are invalid include: ~, `, !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, (, ), –, +, =, {, }, [, ], ;, \, /, :, *, ?, ', ", <, >, |, comma (,), period (.), and a space.

Alias

The name displayed for the product class in the Product Library tree view

Description

A description for the product class

Visible

Indicates whether the product class is visible to other users when a Spatial Database Engine (SDE) database is used as the product library (By default, the value is False. When it is set to True, other product library users can see the product class in the Product Library tree view.)

Class properties

The properties in the Class section allow you to define the product definition file and version information. There are also properties that display the solution name and indicate whether geographic extents are being used with the product class.

Class properties include the following:

Property name

Description

Default Product Class Version

The product class version number to be associated with the product class by default. The properties appear with a default value of 1.0.0.0.

Default Data Model Version

The name and version number of the data model version associated with the product class by default.

Parent Solution

The name of the solution associated with the product class.

Product Definition

The name and current status of the product definition file.

Spatial Reference

The name of the AOI Spatial Reference that was set when the solution was created. If the solution AOI Spatial Reference is changed after the product class is created, the product class cannot be used with that solution; a new product class will have to be created that defaults to the solution's new AOI Spatial Reference.

Template MxD

The name and current status of the template MXD file. When a product class is created, a blank template MXD is created with the name of the new product class.

Use Geographic Extent

Indicates whether the shape of the extent is significant in determining its inclusion on charts in the product class. This parameter is used by the Carto Commander geoprocessing tool to determine whether a spatial query is used to determine which features fall on a given chart. The default value is True. If this is set to False, only features that are specifically included will have cartographic features.

注注:

This is only used for ArcGIS for Aviation:Charting.

Use Relational Query

Indicates whether a relational query can be used when queries are defined at or below the product class, for example, extraction queries. The default value is False.

Class properties

You can change the Default Product Class Version properties in the New Class dialog box when you are creating a new product class. However, the Default Product Class Version property in the Class Properties dialog box only allows you to choose an existing product class version.

Property name

Description

Default Product Class Version

Edition
