Data can be stored in a DNC Nautical Information System (NIS) database for editing and maintenance. One of the benefits the DNC NIS database offers is that multiscale data can be stored in one central location for easy editing access. Each feature class in the DNC NIS schema contains the field Library_Chart_Type, which identifies the DNC library scale of the feature data.
When working with an многопользовательская база геоданных, use the DNC To Geodatabase tool to import DNC Vector Product Format (VPF) data. This tool imports to a DNC NIS database, calculates appropriate fields, and creates a product footprint for use in the Checkout DNC Replica tool. The product footprint is created from Dqyarea and written to the Product_Footprints feature class. Harbor, Approach, Coastal, or General library scale will be written to the Library_Chart_Type field.
When working with an многопользовательская база геоданных, always create an import version. You can delete the version if an error occurs during data import and you want to roll back the operation.
When loading data using the DNC To Geodatabase tool, the Library_Chart_Type value populates according to the library name. The DNC To Geodatabase tool populates this value for you.
If you choose to load data via an alternative method, this attribute field needs to be manually populated in an edit session after loading completes.

next to Input VPF Features.The Input VPF Features dialog box appears.
- Browse to the location of the workspace that contains the VPF data.
The VPF data can be imported into the geodatabase from specific layers or a folder that contains one or more libraries. Point, line, and polygon features can be imported. If a folder contains multiple libraries of the same scale, all libraries import into the same geodatabase.
