Files created by ArcSDM2
This is a reference to the files created by various functions in ArcSDM2. In most cases you will be prompted for a file name, so you can specify a name other than the default. Several files, including temporary files, are created behind the scenes. Text in brackets <> indicates a variable part of the default file name. If the Created when box is empty, the file is always generated when the specified function is run.
