Editing Reference Styles in ArcMap?


Within the Symbol Selector > Referenced Styles



How does one edit (rename, delete, etc.) the referenced styles in ArcMap 10?


Clarification: I don't mean changing the look of the symbol using the "Edit Symbol" button. I mean editing the name or deleting one of the referenced styles.



Answer



Here is some "hack" method. But check if it complies with licensing policy.


We can find ArcMap referenced styles in file c:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\Styles\ESRI.style.


It is standard ArcGIS style library file.


Soon, I have realized that it is actually MS Access file! Just change it's extension to .mdb and try to open it in Access.


You will find all styles and I believe you can make necessary modifications to it. Then again just change extension to .style
