The Network Proprieties pane is very helpful to see the details of how the network is configured. This seems to be the only place where these properties are accessed from. I am often reviewing network properties while also looking at feature class subtypes and fields. Having to open and close the network properties each time makes this a difficult task. I would prefer to have these properties behave like the "Design" properties (ie subtype, fields, and domains). These have context, are dockable, and non modal.
