<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>I have a couple questions about ArcGIS symbology
look-up table and dynamic link to symbols. It appears that there is no simple-straight
forward way of using symbol look up table like the old way ArcPlot did. In
addition, once a symbol is chosen/assigned to a class type/category, the symbol
specs (say colors, size, font, …) are imbedded (to the MXD?). If a change is
made to the symbol, the class has to be reassigned with the updated symbol.
Simply reopen the mxd is not going to work. </span></font></p>
