Applies existing representation rules to features in a feature class representation by calculating the RuleID field.
Usage tips
-
The input must be a geodatabase feature class with at least one feature class representation.
-
Specify a representation rule to assign to a feature. The selected feature or features will have their Rule ID field populated with the specified rule.
-
If the specified Rule ID matches the current Rule ID for a selected feature or features, there will be no change.
