Transfer Quality Of Position (Maritime)

Available with ArcGIS Maritime license.

Summary

Transfers the Quality of Position (QUAPOS) attribution from S-57 edge primitives (captured in PLTS_SpatialAttributeL) to the feature to aid in symbolization dependent on this attribute.

Features in CoastlineL, NaturalFeaturesL, and DepthsL are divided where the primitive attribution changes, and the QUAPOS values are copied to the affected features.

Usage

  • The primitive attribute P_QUAPOS is transferred from the coincident features in PLTS_SpatialAttributeL to features in CoastlineL, DepthsL, and NaturalFeaturesL.

  • Run the tool on chart geodatabases before using the Apply Maritime Symbology tool so that the features have the necessary attribution to properly symbolize.

    • For a new chart product, leave the Unverified Features Only parameter unchecked.
    • When updating an existing chart product, check the Unverified Features Only parameter.

  • Running the tool on previously processed features will overwrite prior versions of the output. If unchanged features previously processed by the tool are included, it may generate invalid results, such as deleted features.
