Defining instrument approach profile view settings

New instrument approach profile views are created based on properties set on the Instrument Approach Profile View dialog box. These properties determine the default appearance and style of newly created instrument approach profile views. Changing the settings does not alter existing instrument approach profile views. Existing instrument approach profile views need to be regenerated to reflect changes made to the instrument approach profile view settings.

The default instrument approach profile view settings can be changed to reflect your charting specification. The instrument approach profile view settings further automate the content and appearance of the instrument approach profile views during initial creation. Changing the default settings is optional. An instrument approach profile view is generated based on the default settings. You can then edit the instrument approach profile view elements using the Instrument Approach Profile View dialog box.
