Using Object Classification
Use object classification to organize drawing objects in your map based on
the real-world objects that they represent. When you create an object using
object classification, the object automatically has properties and values assigned
to it based on its classification.
NOTE This functionality applies to drawing objects only. For information about
the classification systems used by geospatial feature data, see
