An overview of the AIXM toolset

This toolset contains tools that are used for working with AIXM 4.5 and 5.1 data in ArcGIS for Aviation: Charting. These tools allow you to import and export data and update null geometries created during import.

Tool name	Description
AIXM 4.5 Airspace Derived Geometry	The Import AIXM 4.5 to AIS tool will create a null geometry for an airspace feature if AIXM messages contain instructions to generate derived airspace geometries. This tool updates the null geometry with a polygon derived from other airspace features.
Export AIS To AIXM 4.5	This tool creates an Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM) 4.5 XML message from your Aeronautical Information System (AIS) geodatabase. AIXM messages are XML documents that conform to the AIXM 4.5 XML schema. The tool creates data based on the rules and relationships defined by the Aeronautical Information Conceptual Model (AICM) and AIXM 4.5 standards. This tool allows you to share your AIS data as XML.
Import AIXM 4.5 To AIS	Imports Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM) data into an Aeronautical Information System (AIS) geodatabase. This tool decodes the rules and relationships defined in an AIXM 4.5 XML message and re-creates them in the AIS data model. AIXM messages are XML documents that conform to the AIXM XML schema.
Import AIXM 5.1 to AIS	Imports Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM) data into an Aeronautical Information System (AIS) geodatabase. This tool decodes the rules and relationships defined in an AIXM 5.1 XML message and re-creates them in the AIS data model. AIXM messages are XML documents that conform to the AIXM XML schema.
