Create S-57 Product

Summary

Creates an AML, IENC, or ENC chart product in the ArcGIS Maritime product library using an S-57 cell descriptive record and geometry objects.

Usage

  • For use with the ArcGIS Maritime preconfigured product library.

  • At least one series must exist under the product class you want to edit. See adding a new series to a product class for more information.

  • Creates S-57-derived products in the product library for AML, IENC, or ENC. The New Nautical Product wizard must be used to create paper chart products.

  • Area of Interest (AOI) geometry is obtained from the M_COVR object and written to the product library.

  • Creates the product, instance, and AOI levels in the Product Library tree view.

  • Writes the metadata entries to the Nautical Metadata table, which is obtained from the S-57 dataset descriptive records.

  • Creates the product extraction queries. See setting extraction queries for product classes for more information.

CreateS57Product example (Python window)

The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the CreateS57Product tool.

# Import arcpy module
import arcpy

# Check for Nautical extension
if arcpy.CheckExtension("Nautical") == "Available":
    arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Nautical")
else:
    raise ex("Maritime: Charting license is unavailable.")
	
 # Check for Production Mapping extension
if arcpy.CheckExtension("Foundation") == "Available":
	arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Foundation")
else:
	raise ex("Production Mapping license is unavailable.")

# Local variables:
ENC = "C:\Data\ENCs\US4CA68M\ENC_ROOT\US4CA68M\US4CA68M.000"
PRODUCT_LIBRARY_gdb = "C:\Data\CreateProductPython\PRODUCT_LIBRARY.gdb"


# Process: Create S-57 Product
print "Creating product"
arcpy.CreateS57Product_nautical(ENC, PRODUCT_LIBRARY_gdb, "", "Nautical::ENC::NewSeries","",)

print "Complete"
