Description

This patch is now obsolete. It has been superseded by the ArcGIS 9.3.1 SP1 (Desktop) Cartographic Representations Patch.

Introduction

ESRI® announces the ArcGIS 9.3.1 SP1 (Desktop) Cartographic Representations In A Versioned Environment Patch. This patch addresses cases where the representation class information may be lost when switching versions during an ArcMap session. The representation class information is not always being restored and will lead to an “unknown” representation listed in the Table Of Contents. We recommend that all who work with cartographic representations in a versioned environment, download and install this Patch at their earliest convenience to ensure the highest quality experience when working with ArcGIS 9.3.1 Service Pack 1. It deals specifically with the issues listed below under Issues Addressed with this Patch.

Issues Addressed with this Patch

  • NIM052587 - Representation class name information is lost when changing versions from Default to "child" version.

    Description: When switching versions in an ArcMap session, the representation class information may not be restored. The representation class will be listed as unknown in the Table Of Contents of the map document. After changing versions in an ArcMap session, the Table Of Contents may still list the correct representation class and have no effect on the user experience, but upon closing the ArcMap session this information will be lost. The next ArcMap session which uses this map document will list the representation class as unknown.
