Set cartographic exceptions

Available with Aviation Charting license.

Cartographic management tools are available on the  Aviation Charting ribbon. These tools allow you to include features that fall outside a specific area of interest (AOI) or exclude features that fall within a specific AOI when creating cartographic features. Each of these tools writes to the AIS_CartoExceptions table, which is referenced by the Generate Aviation Cartographic Features tool.

The following tools are in the Cartographic Management group on the Aviation Charting ribbon:

  • Include Selected Features—Include selected features when using the Generate Aviation Cartographic Features geoprocessing tool.
  • Exclude Selected Features—Exclude selected features when using the Generate Aviation Cartographic Features geoprocessing tool.
  • Clear Selected Features—Clear existing inclusions or exclusions for selected features.
  • Statistics—Open the Cartographic Exceptions Information dialog box, which describes the existing cartographic exceptions.

The following workflow demonstrates how to use the cartographic management tools:

Note:

First choose a specified aviation AOI and at least one table or feature on a map, sourced from an AIS Charting database.

  1. In the Contents pane, right-click a map and click Properties.

    The Map Properties dialog box appears.

  2. Click Aviation AOI.
  3. Expand the tree and choose an AOI.

    This is the map you want to create and for which you want to associate cartographic features.

  4. Click OK.
  5. On the List by selection tab, ensure you set selectable features to which you want to apply cartographic exceptions.
  6. On the Aviation Charting ribbon, click the Select button Select.
  7. Optionally, choose points whose cartographic exceptions you want to modify.

    Once points are selected, the Include Selected Features, Exclude Selected Features, and Clear Selected Features buttons are available in the Cartographic Management group.

  8. Choose points whose cartographic exceptions you want to include and click the Include Selected Features button Include Selected Features.
  9. Choose points whose cartographic exceptions you want to exclude and click the Exclude Selected Features button Exclude Selected Features.
  10. Choose points whose cartographic exceptions you want to delete and click the Clear Selected Features button Clear Selected Features.

    The cartographic exceptions are cleared from the table.

Note:

The AIS_CartoExceptions table in your AIS C harting database stores the exception information. Review this information by adding the AIS_CartoExceptions table to your map.
