If a drawing contains classified objects, its , metadata is automatically generated and displayed when you open the Metadata Viewer the first time.
The metadata is stored inside the drawing itself. Metadata is updated each time you edit the drawing or reconnect to the attached drawings that contain classified objects.

OpenDrawing. - Click the Map Explorer tab on the Task pane.
- Expand the Object Classes item.
- Right-click an object class and click View Metadata.
- In the Metadata Viewer, scroll down to see the various fields and data.
Metadata for classified drawings is generated automatically.
