When you create a feature class for an Oracle-based enterprise industry model, you create an Oracle table with certain default columns (attributes). After a feature class is created, you can add any number of additional custom attributes.
|
Feature Class Create Dialog Box Feature Class Properties tab |
Description |
|
Create New Feature Class |
Creates a new feature class. See Create Feature Classes. |
|
Create Feature Class From An Existing View |
Creates a feature class from an existing database view. Lists the views that exist in the current industry model. See also To create an industry model from an Oracle view. |
|
Name |
Specifies a table name. Enter a name that complies with Oracle format restrictions. If you are planning to use jobs, limit the name to 19 characters. Names for Oracle tables can consist of 30 characters maximum. Since the table names for identification of the system provide certain initials and extensions, fewer letters are available for the actual names. Avoid national or special characters such as ä, â, ö, ü, $,%, &. |
|
Caption |
Specifies the caption displayed in explorer tree views. It can contain up to 255 characters. You can use spaces. |
|
Type |
Specifies the type. Select the type in the list. If you select a geometry feature class type, the Geometry Settings tab is active. See also Data Model: Feature Class Types. |
|
Model Feature Class |
Assigns a model feature class. See Data Model: Model Tables. |
|
Set Feature Class To Read Only |
Sets the feature class to read-only. See also Working with Feature Classes. |
|
Topic |
Displays the topic of the feature class. Note:
If the Feature Class Create dialog box has been opened from the Create Utility Model dialog box, the Create New Topic command is available. |
|
Point Feature Class Settings tab |
Specifies settings for point feature classes. |
|
Add Attributes To Store The Point’s Accuracy And Reliability |
Adds attributes to store the point’s accuracy and reliability. See also Feature Class Type: Point. |
|
Digitizing Settings |
Select Prompt For Orientation With Each New Feature to avoid using the default orientation. When digitizing a new point in AutoCAD Map 3D, you will be prompted to specify the orientation. Select Prompt For Z Value With Each New Feature to enter the Z coordinates while you are digitizing a new point in AutoCAD Map 3D. Only available if 3D is enabled. Note:
You can enable or disable the Digitizing Settings using the Edit Feature Class command. See Working with Feature Classes. Note:
The Digitizing Settings for the Z value are valid in AutoCAD Map 3D. If you are digitizing an AutoCAD entity, use the Map 3D Options dialog box, 3D Modeling tab to enable the Z value input. |
|
Geometry Settings tab |
For feature classes with geometry, some attributes for the spatial reference system (spatial column GEOM) are displayed in the Geometry Settings tab. The default settings here were defined during the creation of the enterprise industry model. You can modify these settings for each feature class, but be aware that this requires more modifications to keep the system consistent. |
|
Set Spatial Settings |
Controls the behavior of each feature class during spatial selections. If you use a polygon or rectangle to select features, these settings specify the conditions for element selection. |
