Updating nautical symbology

The Update tool adds the required fields (RuleID, Override, and Text string) to the feature classes selected, and if they do not exist, it updates the values accordingly. The ArcGIS for Maritime: Charting NIS, chart, and ENC schemas are preconfigured with the INT1 specification. Since the geodatabases are preconfigured, using the Update tool is not necessary. When creating national symbology, editing the representation rule, or adding a representation rule on a specific layer, it will require the use of the Update tool on the geodatabase. In an enterprise environment, where some users are restricted from making schema changes, it is recommended that an administrator run this tool with the appropriate symbology first.

Note:

In a versioned environment, the Update tool can only be run on the default version of a geodatabase.
