Moving Schematics Datasets

[iangorley]

Hi,

I am having a little trouble with my schematics datasets. I have created the dataset on a network drive at one of our offices and wish to transfer it via memory pen to another office.

Everything works in location A, including importing the symbology from a map etc, but when i move it to location B and try to create a schematic diagram in the dataset it seems to go through the full process, but nothing appears? I have made sure the schematic data frame is active and have even tried moving the folder between locations in the same office and i still get the same results!

Is the schematic datset somehow 'tied' to the machine/drive it was created on?

Help!!!

p.s i am running 9.3.1 build 1500

The dataset has pointers to the 'real' data that expects to be incoming.  So, if that real data is in a file geodatabase or personal geodatabase, then moving the dataset requires re-pointing.  You have to edit the dataset with the schematic designer application and fix the datasources.

Ah! That explains it DOH!
