Hi all - ArcMap noob looking for some answers, as I've made a few mistakes already and don't want to have to recreate all my feature classes and relates again.
I have two tables (building details) that relate to multiple feature classes (buildings), with the relationship based on "building_number" to provide building details when clicking on the building with the info cursor. I want to know how to add records to the tables both in bulk or individual rows without breaking the relates. Also, I've noticed that when I export from Excel to the gdb, it doesn't include numerous records with underscores, but it does from a CSV. Am I doing something wrong?
To add to this, I'm trying to create a copy of the entire project in a "Test" folder so as not to blow up the production map, but the association of the mxd stays with the original gdb. How can I point everything to the "test" gdb without having to recreate all relationships, polygons, etc.?
Thanks in advance,
Jim
I think I figured it out - but I'd like a sanity check. I went into catalog and updated the data source to my test gdb. All relates and feature classes seem to be intact, and I had previously imported the CSV building details to the "test" building details, which showed up in the "test" table. Does that sound right?
