Description

Depths to ASCII

Exports a depths point feature class to an ASCII text file. You can use the ASCII text file for working with depths information in non-GIS systems. Depths in the ArcGIS for Maritime: Bathymetry are z-enabled point features interpolated from a Bathymetric Attributed Grid (BAG). Depth values also contain a vertical uncertainty value. Elevation and uncertainty values are sampled from bands in the BAG.
