The Nautical toolbox's Cartography toolset provides tools that can be used to finish a nautical chart for final production. These tools allow you to generate cartographic data for your charts.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
Runs selected chart finishing processes on a production database with the Nautical Chart schema. Processes include adding layers to the TOC, generating cartographic limits, creating grids and graticules, converting labels to annotation, and masking annotation. | |
Runs selected chart-finishing processes on a nautical chart product created with Product Library. Processes include adding layers to the TOC, generating cartographic limits, creating grids and graticules, converting labels to annotation, and masking annotation. | |
Generates polygon masks for annotation features that intersect other polyline features. This tool supports nautical cartographic workflows that require masking based on geographic coincidence to specified input features. The specified input features (those that intersect the input annotation features) are polylines from the ArcGIS for Maritime: Charting data model or other sources. | |
Converts polygon features to polylines and removes all segments coincident with the erase features. It is most often used to remove the outline of coincident features along a coastline or neatline, improving the cartographic display of digital and hard-copy nautical charts in the following manner:

Creates light sector features based on a specified point feature class. Light sectors typically appear on nautical charts and depict the distance a light can be seen from its source. Light sectors are based on light features in the AidsToNavigationP feature class in the ArcGIS for Maritime: Charting. |
