Selecting a feature in the target layer (Maritime Charting)

To find and select an existing feature in the target template, use the Select command on the context menu of the Notice to Mariners dialog box.

Steps:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. If necessary, set up the DNC production environment.
3. Click the Notice To Mariners button on the Nautical DNC toolbar.
4. Navigate to the location of the parsed NGA text file and click Select.

   The Notice to Mariners dialog box appears.
5. Click the Target Layer drop-down arrow and choose a target layer.
6. If necessary, add or remove fields in the Notice to Mariners dialog box.
7. Right-click a reference number for a notice whose action is not Add, and click Select.

If the feature is found in the target layer, the map display zooms to the feature, selects it, and adds a red X NTM graphic to it.

Tip:

If you click the Select Features In Target Layer button, you will only be able to manually select Target Layer features and not zoom to them.

If no features are found, a message box appears that informs you no features can be found within 10 percent of the extent shown in the XY field. A red X marker appears at the x,y location of the extent searched. You can change the search radius by changing the pixel size on the Selection Options dialog box.

Tip:

You can delete the selected feature, if necessary, in the Manage Features window.
