ArcGIS for Maritime: Charting properties

When working with ArcGIS for Maritime: Charting, you can configure how certain tools behave and what rules they should use. These properties are set once after Maritime Charting has been installed. These properties are not to be set again unless using different database connections or a new version of Maritime Charting is installed. The following properties are set on the Nautical Properties pane of the Production Properties dialog box.
