Summary
Analyzes all the areas of interest maintained in the aviation production database and creates, modifies, and deletes cartographic copies of features.
Discussion
The CartoCommander function is useful for ensuring that cartographic copies of features for aeronautical charts are up-to-date. For example, this tool can remove detached features from an area of interest that is not associated with a primary feature or that do not satisfy an extraction query. It can also create new cartographic features when new primary features have been added to the aviation production database.
Syntax
CartoCommander (aoi_info, production_database, feature_class_list)
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
aoi_info [aoi_info,...] | A list of AviationChartInfo objects. The objects contain the information for map ID for the areas of interest to be processed. The map ID can be retrieved using the GetAviationAOI function and will be formatted as Solution Name::Product Class Name::Series Name::Product Name::Instance Name::AOI Name. | String |
production_database | Path to the workspace containing the data used for production tasks or is referenced by maps and charts. | String |
feature_class_list [feature_class_list,...] | The list of cartographic feature classes where features can be created or edited. | String |
