Group layers by theme

Available with ArcGIS Maritime license.

The Group Layers By Theme tool groups layers in the Contents pane by Vector Product Format (VPF) theme. The layers are grouped according to the value of the GROUPTHEME field specified in the DBS_FC_VVT table for the feature class associated with that layer. The tool organizes the layers by point, line, and polygon and places them in their respective VPF thematic group layer. This is useful for visualizing the layers by VPF theme as well as organizing the layers for quality-control purposes. Existing group layers are ignored so any custom grouping is not lost.

To group layers by VPF theme, complete these steps:

1. Start ArcGIS Pro.
2. Open a new or existing project.
3. Add maritime data to the Contents pane, if necessary.

   The Maritime VPF tab appears.

4. On the Maritime VPF tab, in the VPF group, click Group Layers By Theme .

The layers in the Contents pane are grouped by VPF theme.
