An overview of the Cartography toolset

The Nautical toolbox's Cartography toolset provides tools that can be used to finish a nautical chart for final production. These tools allow you to generate cartographic data for your charts.

Tool	Description
Chart Automation	Runs selected chart finishing processes on a chart product. Processes include adding layers to the TOC, generating cartographic limits, creating grids and graticules, converting labels to annotation, and masking annotation.
Generate Annotation Masks	Generates polygon masks for annotation features that intersect other polyline features. This tool supports nautical cartographic workflows that require masking based on geographic coincidence to specified input features. The specified input features (those that intersect the input annotation features) are polylines from the ArcGIS for Maritime : Création de diagrammes data model or other sources.
Generate Cartographic Limits	Permet de supprimer facilement les entités coïncidentes le long d'un littoral et élimine les masques. Ceci améliore l'affichage cartographique des diagrammes nautiques numériques et imprimés de la manière suivante : Etablit une limite vers la mer d'entités coïncidentes à un littoral. Réduit le nombre d'entités affichées dans un diagramme. Réduit les temps d'exportation et d'affichage des produits nautiques.
Generate Light Sector	Creates light sector features based on a specified point feature class. Light sectors typically appear on nautical charts and depict the distance a light can be seen from its source. Light sectors are based on light features in the AidsToNavigationP feature class in the ArcGIS for Maritime : Création de diagrammes.
