The sandbox option is '''notNOT''' recommended to use but if you decided to do it anyhow please:# make a copy of the client background map
# make a copy of the file based geodatabase
and use these when working with ArcGIS.Both # make a copy of them are found in the client's current background map folder in mxd fileby '''following'C:\IMSMAng\client\gis\sandbox''the instructions below and use copies when working with ArcGIS.
If the client's current background map is called ''World'' then you will find the World.mxd file based geodatbase in ''C:\IMSMAng\client\gis\sandbox\World\map''.
<li>Close the {{IMSMANG}} client.
<li>Copy this the folder called ''IMSMA.gdb'' in ''C:\IMSMAng\client\gis\sandbox\World\map'' to e.g. IMSMA_3Aug.gdb. <li>Open ArcMap with an empty mxd or start ArcCatalog.<li>In ArcCatalog right-click on World.mxd and select ''Set Data Source(s)''<li>Set the name to the output file to a new name e.g. World_3Aug''World'''_3Aug'''.mxd''.<li>Copy the folder called Click on '''Select All''' button.<li>Click on '''Replace All'''IMSMAbutton.gdb<li>Set ''Replace with'' in to e.g. ''C:\IMSMAng\client\gis\sandbox\World\map\IMSMA'''_3Aug'''.gdb''.<li>Click on '' (which is 'Replace All''' button.<li>Verify the file based geodatabase) to eresult and click on '''OK''.g<li>Open the new mxd, ''World_3Aug.
