Creating and Viewing Metadata
When you open the Metadata Viewer (page 1751) for the first time, metadata
(page 2069) is automatically generated and displayed for the current drawing.
When you select a
resource (page 2072) from the Current Drawing tree view, or
a file from the Folder Shortcut tree view, the available metadata for that
resource is displayed in the Metadata Viewer.
Some metadata information can be generated for the following resources:
Web ServicesFDO RDBMS-based
data
FDO file-based dataDWG files
WFSOracle SpatialSDF filesDWGs that contain
classified drawing
objects
WMSMySQL with spatialSHP filesDWGs that do not
contain classified
drawing objects
SDERaster files

Metadata for resources in the Current Drawing tree view are stored in the
drawing file. Metadata for resources in the Folder Shortcut tree view are stored
in an automatically generated MTD file. The MTD file is saved in the same
directory as the resource.
