Subtypes and Domains

IsaacGutierrez — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:21:41 GMT

Alright guys i have a GEODATABASE, and i have a feature class for zoning what im attempting to do is have subcategories for zoning for example Commerical : C1, C2 Residential: R-15, R-16, etc.. so my domains would be: C1, C2, R-15 R-16 and my subtypes would be: Commercial, Residential. So far i created both of them i created the domain in the geodatabase and then i went to feature class and created the subtypes.. but i have no idea how these link with eachother i left all default values.. how can i have one field that has the subtype and when you input the subtype the following field lets you choose the domain that pertains to that subtype.
Domains: Named Zoning Has all the codes for zoning: C1, C2, C3, R16, R10,
does my subtype that i create for example 0:Commercial and 1: Residential , does the subtype organize it by Commercial:>C1, C2 C3 and Residential> R16, R10.

Help.. Im confused.

Hi Isaac,

Assign domain to the desired field for each individual subtype.

Please review step 10 from "Creating subtypes and associating default values and domains" in the following link .

Thanks

Do the data types for the attribute field match the data type for your domain? For example, text to text, short integer to short integer, float to float, etc... This is one reason why one would not see a coded value domain available for an attribute field.
