Summary
Imports Aerodrome Mapping Exchange Model (AMXM) 2.0 schema data into an Airports geodatabase.
Discussion
AMXM data can be imported into an ArcGIS Aviation Airports geodatabase with the Airports schema. ImportAmxm decodes the features and relationships defined in an AMXM 2.0 XML message and loads them into the Airports data model. AMXM messages are XML documents that conform to the AMXM XML schema.
Syntax
