Set cartographic exceptions

Available with Aviation Charting license.

When creating cartographic features, you can include features that fall outside a specific area of interest (AOI) or exclude features that fall within a specific AOI by using the cartographic management tools on the Aviation tab. Each of these tools writes to the AIS_CartoExceptions table that is referenced by the Generate Aviation Cartographic Features tool.

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

  • Include Selected Features—Include selected features when using the Generate Aviation Cartographic Features geoprocessing tool.
    Note:

    When you set a feature as an Inclusion, the Generate Aviation Cartographic Features tool creates a cartographic feature, regardless of whether the feature falls inside or outside the specified AOI or whether there are Extraction Queries that could exclude it from the output.

  • 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.

Specify an aviation AOI and select at least one table or feature on a map that is sourced from an AIS Charting database before using the cartographic management tools. Complete the following steps to specify an AOI and select a table or feature:

  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 for which you want to create and 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 tab, click the Select button Select.
  7. Optionally, choose points with cartographic exceptions that 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. Optionally, choose points with cartographic exceptions that you want to include, and click the Include Selected Features button Include Selected Features.
  9. Optionally, choose points with cartographic exceptions that you want to exclude, and click the Exclude Selected Features button Exclude Selected Features.
  10. Optionally, choose points with cartographic exceptions that you want to delete, and click the Clear Selected Features button Clear Selected Features.

    The cartographic exceptions are cleared from the table.

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