Domain and subtypes Question

DEAF_PROBERT_68 — Fri, 14 Apr 2017 16:40:06 GMT

When you set up a Domain Name on the Geodatabase and add the codes. I put the Field Type as a Text. My question to you when you go to the Feature Class Properties and all I can see that the subtype Field shows None; however, when I add the Name as a Field Name. I am wondering why the Subtype Field doesn't show the Name as a subtype ? Was it because I set it as a Text and it would not show it ? Is that correct ?

Thanks,

Domains are not part of mine... but I assume that it is this area that you are referring to

The subtype field must be a long- or short-integer field. If you have no subtype field selected, you will not be able to add subtypes.

If I remember correctly, I worked on ski areas last April and had to do set it up in Domain and then set it Field Type as a Text and then filled it out the codes and Description in the Subtype tab in the Feature Class Properties.

Then go back to the Geodatabase where you create a feature class and review the attribute table and see if you can have a scroll down the list of the the codes.

But to be honest I don't remember what I did LOL . I checked my file Geodatabase and trying to remember...

Let me know if I can help ...
