You can set preferences that dictate how ArcGIS Aviation Charting geoprocessing tools create airspace lines, generate airspace areas, process routes, generate chart leads, and perform change detection in ArcGIS Pro using the Aviation Preferences tool. The preferences you configure with this tool are stored in a preferences table located in the Aviation Charting Aeronautical Information System (AIS) geodatabase schema that is provided in the Aviation Charting product data files at My Esri.

Preferences table
A preferences table is a stand-alone table included in the Aviation Charting AIS geodatabase schema:
| Field name | Data type |
|---|---|
| Name | Text (max length 255 characters) |
| Description (Required) | Text (max length 255 characters) |
| JSON (Required) | Text (max length 20,000 characters) |
| Type | Text (max length 255 characters) |
Nota:
If your geodatabase schema does not contain a preferences table, you can manually create one. The new table must contain the fields listed above along with the correct data type and text length for your table to populate correctly. Your new table must also be named Preferences.
Open the Aviation Preferences view
You can populate a preferences table using the Aviation Preferences tool in ArcGIS Pro.
- Start ArcGIS Pro.
- Open or create a project containing an Aviation Charting AIS geodatabase.
- If your project contains a map with feature classes from your Aviation Charting AIS geodatabase, skip to step 8.
- If the Catalog pane is not open, click the View tab, and click Catalog Pane.
- Expand the Databases drop-down arrow in the Catalog pane.
- Expand your Aviation Charting AIS geodatabase.
- Right-click the feature class you want to add, and click Add To Current Map.
The feature class you chose appears as a layer in the Contents pane, and the Aviation tab appears on the ribbon.
- Click the Aviation tab.
Nota:
Before the Aviation tab appears on the ribbon, you must add a feature class from your Aviation Charting AIS geodatabase to the map.
- In the Configuration group, click Preferences.
The Preferences tab and the Aviation Preferences view appear.
Add preferences
The Preferences tab allows you to populate your geodatabase's preferences table with preferences for the Process ATS Routes, Generate Airspace Lines,Generate Airspace Areas, Generate Aviation Chart Leads, and Report Aviation Chart Changes tools.
- In the Aviation Preferences view, choose the preference you want to add in the Add Preferences group on the ribbon.
- Process ATS Routes—Determines how the Process ATS Routes tool identifies and processes route features.
- Generate Airspace Lines—Determines how the Generate Airspace Lines tool generates airspace lines from input airspace boundary features.
- Generate Airspace Areas—Determines how the Generate Airspace Areas tool generates airspace areas from input airspace features.
- Generate Chart Leads—Determines how the Generate Aviation Chart Leads tool generates Chart Leads from the input map frame.
- Summary Table— Determines how the Generate Summary Table Data tool gathers information from related tables and generates a single user-defined table.
- Report Chart Changes—Determines how the Report Aviation Chart Changes tool identifies data changes between two geodatabase corporativa versions.
A new record appears.
Nota:
The red box next to the new record indicates that the record is invalid and cannot be used to populate a preferences table. A record is considered invalid if the preference is a duplicate value or if the preference contains incomplete information.
- Click the new record.
- Locate the Preference Details pane and expand the General Info section.
- In the Name text box, type a unique name that defines the preference you are creating.
Nota:
You cannot have multiple preferences of the same type with the same name. For example, it is valid to have two separate preferences called Airspace Route for the Process ATS Routes and Generate Airspace Lines tools. It is not valid, however, to have two preferences called Airspace Routes for the Generate Airspace Lines tool.
- In the Description text box, type a unique description for the preference.
- In the Tags text box, type descriptive tags for the preference.
- Continue configuring the preference you chose with one of the following sections:
