This ArcGIS 2.8 documentation has been archived and is no longer updated. Content and links may be outdated. See the latest documentation.

Available with Maritime Charting license.

Summary

Imports an S-57 file into an ArcGIS Maritime geodatabase. Sources that can be imported include Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC), Additional Military layers (AML), and Inland Electronic Navigational Chart (IENC).

Usage

  • A New Edition (EN) base file can be imported.

  • Multiple Revision (ER) files, also known as updates, must be imported at the same time as the base file. Individual ER files cannot be imported at a later time.

  • The Target Workspace parameter must contain a Maritime schema.

    Tip:

    Choose one of the Maritime workspace .xml files to create your Maritime database: NAUTICAL_ENC_TEMPLATE_GX_EXTCLSID.xml or NAUTICAL_NIS_TEMPLATE_GX_EXTCLSID.xml. These files are located in the <install location>\Resources\Maritime folder. The NAUTICAL_ENC_TEMPLATE_GX_EXTCLSID.xml file contains the geodatabase topology.

  • It is recommended that you import to an edit version when using an enterprise geodatabase.
