Note: this feature is new in XTools Pro 16.0

 

Find in Catalog

 

 

Purpose

 

The new tiny feature allows to quickly find in Catalog datasets for the items (layers, tables) selected in the table of contents in ArcMap.

 

 

Description

 

The Find in Catalog tool opens Catalog dockable window in ArcMap and navigates to the selected layer's data source. If Catalog is not open at the moment its window is added with the found location open. Then in Catalog it's possible to view datasets properties and description and perform other operations with found datasets.

 

 

Usage

 

The tool is available from the XTools Pro toolbar menu or from the layer's context menu. The tool icon is enabled if there is any layer selected in the TOC window.

 

 

Select one of the elements in the TOC window (e.g. layer or table), then in the XTools Pro menu or in the element's context menu select Find in Catalog. The Catalog dockable window will appear with the requested dataset location open.
