Copy S-57 Features (Maritime)

Available with ArcGIS Maritime license.

Summary

Copies features from a layer or multiple layers to a target geodatabase.

This tool also finds S-57 structure-equipment and collection relationships from the source layers and copies them to the target workspace. The existing compilation scale attribute value can be either preserved or overridden with a custom value.

Usage

• If a value is not specified for the Compilation Scale parameter, the attribute value of the input feature will be preserved.

• This tool copies related structure-equipment and collections records.

• The Input Features and Target Workspace values cannot reference the same database and version.

• The Input Features and Target Workspace values must be Maritime schemas.

  Tip:

  Choose the Maritime workspace .xml file to create a Maritime database based on the S-57 product you want to use. For example, NAUTICAL_ENC_TEMPLATE_GX_EXTCLSID.xml provides the schema for an ENC product. The default file location is <installation_location>\ArcGIS Maritime\Product Files\<version>\S-57, provided the Maritime product files are installed.

• The NIS_VERIFIED field attribute is set to Not Verified on copied features.

Code sample

CopyS57Features example (Python window)

The following code sample demonstrates how to use the CopyS57Features function with a database with the Nautical Chart schema.

# Import arcpy module
import arcpy

# Tool variables
in_features = [r"C:\Data\Import\NIS.gdb\AidsToNavigationP", r"C:\Data\Import\NIS.gdb\OffshoreInstallationsP"]
target_workspace = r"C:\Data\Import\NIS.gdb"
compilation_scale = 20000

#Execute the tool
S57BatchCopyPaste_maritime (in_features, target_workspace, compilation_scale)

Environments
