Link Culture

The Link Culture application allows the user to link to a Shapefile, an ArcSDE layer, or a SeisWare culture file. Linking allows you to use a culture file from another location which will be read every time a culture layer is displayed. This allows you to only maintain one set of culture instead of importing the same culture file into a variety of projects.
