ArcFM Desktop Configuration Guide
Basic ArcFM Configuration

Resource Center Home

The sample data provided with the ArcFM Solution makes extensive use of model names and autoupdaters to support the functionality of tools and components that make editing more productive in ArcMap. This page lists the feature classes and fields to which model names and autoupdaters are assigned in a database such as Minerville. ArcFM tools such as Feeder Manager and Tracing require additional configuration. See the Configuring ArcFM section for information about configuring specific ArcFM tools. Use the Snapping Manager to set snapping on feature classes.

Autoupdaters: All autoupdaters are described in the Appendix in the Documentation Center in exchange. It is a good idea to review the descriptions for the autoupdaters assigned below and ensure you understand what they do. Do not assign an autoupdater to a feature if you do not want it to fire.
