Updating nautical symbology

The Update tool adds the required fields (RuleID, Override, and Text string) to the geodatabase. The ArcGIS for Maritime: Charting Chart schema is preconfigured with the INT1 specification. When creating national symbology, editing the representation rule, or adding a representation rule on a specific layer, the Update tool will add the required information to your schema.

Note:

Adding representations to your enterprise NIS is not recommended.

Tip:

You can add the process of calculating S-52 to your checkout replicas if you want editors to have symbology on their database while editing.

2. In the Table Of Contents window, click the List By Source button .
3. In the Table Of Contents window, select the layers or feature dataset to be updated.
