topic Advanced feature level behavior in ArcPad? in ArcPad Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcpad-questions/advanced-feature-level-behavior-in-arcpad/m-p/305115#M2225 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Is there a way to create advanced feature level behavior in ArcPad? In other words, I want certain features to be on top of other features within the same feature layer, based on the attribute that determines their symbology. I am using shapefile checkouts, and can manipulate apl or vbs files if there is a way to accomplish what I'm after this way. I would prefer not to have to make changes to the Table Of Contents if at all possible, as this is more time-consuming given our high output workflow.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sat, 24 Nov 2012 16:24:31 GMT IngridHogle 2012-11-24T16:24:31Z Advanced feature level behavior in ArcPad? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcpad-questions/advanced-feature-level-behavior-in-arcpad/m-p/305115#M2225 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Is there a way to create advanced feature level behavior in ArcPad?

The only way I could see doing it with shps would be to create a seperate shapefile for each attribute that you are mapping and have them in order in your TOC.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>You could perhaps do it with AXF layers using definition queries and lots of duplicate layers.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If anyone else has a solution to this I think they get extra points.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Cheers,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Gareth</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 26 Nov 2012 03:21:21 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcpad-questions/advanced-feature-level-behavior-in-arcpad/m-p/305116#M2226 GarethWalters 2012-11-26T03:21:21Z
