Creating features using unit conversion

When features are created in a nautical production geodatabase, if you have unit conversion values preconfigured in your product library, all the fields designated as unit conversion fields are converted based on the field input and the unit type selected on the Nautical Unit Selection toolbar. For example, if you create a linear BRIDGE feature and give the HORCLR attribute a value of 12, and your height unit (HUNI) value is set to Meters, all unit conversion fields are converted from Meters to their respected units based on the conversion value you have defined in your product library.

You can configure your own unit conversion and rounding rules using the product library workspace XML file that is included in ArcGIS Maritime.

1. 启动 ArcMap。
2. 在主菜单上，单击自定义 > 工具条 > 生产编辑。
3. 单击生产编辑工具条上的启动生产编辑按钮 。

   注：

   使用启动生产编辑工具开始编辑会话时，系统将自动显示管理要素和创建属性、更新属性或元数据属性窗口。

   提示：

   如果开始编辑会话时未显示创建属性、更新属性或元数据属性窗口，请单击管理要素窗口上的显示/隐藏属性按钮 。

4. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Nautical Unit Selection.
5. Click the HUNI drop-down arrow and choose the height unit.

   By default, this is set to Meters.

6. Click the DUNI drop-down arrow and choose the depth unit.

   By default, this is set to Meters.

7. Click the PUNI drop-down arrow and choose the positional unit.

   By default, this is set to Meters.

8. Choose the appropriate template from the Manage Features window.
9. Click the Create Attributes tab.
10. Click the cell next to the HUNI field and type the source value.
11. Click the cell next to the DUNI field and type the source value.
12. Click the cell next to the PUNI field and type the source value.
13. Click Apply.
14. Click in the data frame to create the new feature.

    The newly created features have their destination fields. For example, _M is populated with the converted value, and the _UC and _RR fields are also updated.
