    Is the version 9.0 feature definition manager compatible with v4.10 TBC?

    Hi Ken

    What type of edits did you make to the FXL?

     

    Major edits to the FXL for example adding a new feature or attribute  will cause conflict between the original geodatabase schema and the FXL, breaking the mapping writing back to the geodatabase.

     

    Any easy way to check this would be to either disable the attributes in the FXL that you have editted (so these are ignored when writing back to the geodatabase) or quickly setting this up with the original FXL > making no edits > collecting a quick set of test data > seeing if this writes back ok

     

     

    It is also important to note that some feature class feature types are not supported and will cause errors when writing back to the geodatabase:

    • Geometric networks
    • Topologies
    • Relationship classes
    • Editor Tracking

    Hi Tom

    TBC v4.10

    Feature Definiation Manager v9.0

     

    Thank you for that, that is good info to know for when I get to the point where I am writing out to a GDB. My issue occurs when I am in TBC and have imported survey data and then load the fxl file for the purpose of processing feature codes. When I select the fxl file, that is when I get the "invalid file" warning. The edits that I have done to the fxl file include:

     

    editing the "Code" to match the code within the TSC3 data collector

    Changed some element colors for the "Feature layer"

    varify that the named feature matches the GDB

     

    I am using data from a .csv file that was exported from a TSC3. Within the .csv, I have edited the feature code to match the "Code" that I have created within the fxl file, and matched all of the attribute names to match the fxl as well. Within the fxl file, there are more attributes that came from the GDB than what was collected in the field survey.

     

    The feature "name" and the "Feature layer"  are what came from the GDB using the "Get GIS Schema".

    I can open and edit and save the fxl file using "Feature Definition Manager".
