Using ArcCatalog

Tip
Why open the Customize
dialog box?
Even though you don’t make use of
it in an operation, such as moving
commands, you must display the
Customize dialog box when you
are customizing the Catalog. With
the dialog box open, the Catalog is
in a state where you can change its
user interface.
Tip
Removing commands
When you remove a command
from a toolbar, you’re not deleting
it; it’s merely no longer available
on the toolbar. The command still
appears in the Commands list in
the Customize dialog box. Later,
you can always add the command
back to the toolbar or reset the
toolbar’s contents.
Moving a command
1. Show the toolbar with the
command you want to move.
2. If you’re moving the command
to another toolbar,
show the destination toolbar.
3. Click the Tools menu and
click Customize.
4. Click and drag the command
from its original position and
drop the command in its new
location.
The command appears in the
new position.
5. Click Close in the Customize
dialog box.
Removing a command
1. Show the toolbar containing
the command that you want
to remove.
2. Click the Tools menu and
click Customize.
3. Click and drag the tool you
want to remove off the
toolbar.
The mouse pointer changes
to a line through a circle.
4. Drop the command.
The command is removed
from the toolbar or menu.
5. Click Close in the Customize
dialog box.
