An overview of the Cartographic Production toolset

This toolset contains tools that allow you to create and maintain cartographic features for aeronautical charts that use the Aeronautical Information System (AIS) data model.

Tool name	Description
AOI Mask	Generates a masking feature by erasing an area from an input area of interest (AOI) polygon. The masking feature is the difference between the erase and the AOI features. The tool writes an ID value from the AOI polygon and the erase feature class name to a new mask feature in an output feature class. You can use the masking feature to hide parts of layers that render beneath it and outside the erase features. Use this tool to generate aeronautical cartographic data like range rings.
Carto Commander	Creates, modifies, and deletes cartographic features for the Aeronautical Production database in the Aeronautical Properties pane of the Production Properties dialog box.
Create Feature Linked Annotation	Creates annotation for features in a specific ArcGIS for Aviation: Charting chart if it does not already have annotation.
