How do I create a new feature in dataset?
Note:
- In the Catalog tree, right-click the geodatabase in which you want to create a new feature dataset.
- Click New > Feature Dataset.
- Type a name for the feature dataset.
- Navigate to the spatial reference you want to use.
- Use Modify if you want to change any parameters in the coordinate system you’ve chosen.
What is feature dataset?
A feature dataset is a collection of related feature classes that share a common coordinate system. Feature datasets are used to facilitate creation of controller datasets (sometimes also referred to as extension datasets), such as a parcel fabric, topology, or utility network.
Can a feature class have the same name?
When you create a feature class, you should give it a name that indicates what data the feature class stores. Feature class names must be unique in a database or geodatabase—you can’t have more than one feature class with the same name.
How do I create a new feature class?
Refer to Feature class properties for information about the various properties that need to be set during the creation of a new feature class. In the Catalog pane, right-click the geodatabase in which you want to create a feature class. Point to New > Feature Class. This opens the Create Feature Class wizard.
Can you have two feature classes in the same geodatabase?
Having two feature classes with the same name in the same geodatabase, even if included in different feature datasets, is not allowed. The name you indicate when you create the feature class in ArcGIS for Desktop, however, is not the name of the feature class as it appears in the database or geodatabase.
How to move feature classes to feature datasets?
Basically, we have a backup of an AGOL GDB but in that backup there were no Datasets–everything was in the root of the FGBD that was downloaded from the AGOL site. However, the source data, which was used to publish to AGOL, did have Datasets (well, only one called ‘Sewers’) and we needed to have that Dataset back in the final/output GDB.
