Available with ArcGIS Maritime license.
The S-57 Set Scale Band tools on the Maritime S-57 tab allow you to filter data by choosing a low scale value, a high scale value, and a product type.
These values are used to apply a definition query to either a set of chosen layers or, if the map is chosen, all maritime layers present in the Contents pane.
When choosing filter values, consider the following:
- The list of values in the Low and High combo boxes are derived from the ScaleBands.xml file in the <installation_location>\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\Maritime folder. These values reflect radar ranges and can be customized. Additionally, you can type a custom value in the combo boxes.
- The low value represents the largest-scale data that is included in the query.
- The high value represents the smallest-scale data that is included in the query.
- Choosing a low value that is larger than the high value automatically changes the high value to the next larger numeric value. This maintains the logical consistency of both fields.
- Similarly, choosing a high value that is lower than the low value results in the low value automatically changing to maintain consistency.
- The Products drop-down menu allows you to filter features based on the following product types:
- Any—Features are not filtered based on product type.
- All Only—Only features attributed as All are included.
- Chart Only—Only features attributed as Chart are included.
- ENC Only—Only features attributed as ENC are included.
- NIS Only—Only features attributed as NIS are included.
- All & ENC—Only features attributed as All or ENC are included.
- All & Chart—Only features attributed as All or Chart are included.
Set the scale band
Complete the following steps to set filter values using the S-57 scale band tools and set a definition query:
- Open a new or an existing project.
- Add maritime data to the Contents pane, if necessary.
The Maritime S-57 tab appears.
- In the Contents pane, choose the map to which you want to apply a filter to all the layers.
Alternatively, you can choose individual layers to apply the filter to a specific set of layers.
- Click the Maritime S-57 tab.
- In the S-57 Set Scale Band group, click the Low drop-down arrow and choose a value.
Tip:
You can also type a value in the Low combo box. The value must be greater than 0 and must be numeric characters.
In the S-57 Set Scale Band group, the value corresponding to the low value automatically sets the option for the high value. For example, with a low value of 0, the high value is automatically set to 4,000.
- Optionally, if you do not want to use the default high value, click the High drop-down arrow and choose a value.
Tip:
You can also type a value in the High combo box. The value must be greater than the low value and must be numeric characters.
- Click the Products drop-down arrow and choose a value to filter by product type.
This filter applies to features in the data based on their NIS_PRODUCTS attribute value.
- Click Set Filter .
The definition query is appended to the selected layers in the Contents pane, and the data is filtered accordingly.
- Optionally, right-click any layer and click Properties, then on the Layer Properties dialog box, click Definition Query to confirm that the data was filtered.
Note:
The applied definition query honors conflation only when conflated features are present. If you introduce conflated features after clicking Set Filter , you need to click Set Filter again for conflated features to be included.
Remove a definition query
You can remove a definition query from selected layers with the Reset Filter tool. Complete the following steps to remove a definition query:
- Select the layers or the map for which you want to remove a definition query in the Contents pane.
- Click the Maritime S-57 tab.
- In the S-57 Set Scale Band group, click Reset Filter .
The set scale band query is removed from the chosen layers or map.
