Attached to this blog post is the\u00a0download<\/a>\u00a0for the FGDC Metadata Editor add-in. This add-in provides a command that can be added to the Metadata toolbar in ArcCatalog. When clicked it opens the same FGDC metadata editor available at previous releases. This editor can be used to modify content in FGDC elements in an item\u2019s metadata. These elements sit alongside ArcGIS elements in the item\u2019s metadata. ArcGIS 10 will not automatically update any content in any FGDC elements. If you\u2019re using a metadata style that supports full access to the item\u2019s metadata, any FGDC elements that are present can be viewed under the FGDC metadata heading.<\/p>\n

Steps to getting started:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
    Download and save the attached file (fgdc.esriaddin) to your ArcGIS Desktop add-in folder (C:Users\u2026DocumentsArcGISAddInsDesktop10.0)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    Open\u00a0ArcCatalog (if open, close and re-open)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n
    In ArcCatalog go to the\u00a0Customize<\/strong>\u00a0menu and select\u00a0Customize Mode<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. \n
    On the\u00a0Commands<\/strong>\u00a0tab scroll down to the\u00a0Metadata<\/strong>\u00a0category<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  5. \n
    From the Metadata Commands, drag the\u00a0Show Metadata Editor<\/strong>\u00a0command to the Metadata toolbar or someplace on the users interface to access the FGDC Editor.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
