Resizing the localizer feather when the Localizer Feather geometric effect is applied (Aviation)

With an appropriate representation rule applied, the Localizer Feather geometric effect allows you to customize the localizer feather while retaining the size, shape, scale, fill pattern, and line weight. You can edit the default size of the generated symbol and stretch it to the length needed for a chart by using the representation editing tools. This addresses issues seen using font glyphs, such as fill dots becoming exponentially larger or line weight increasing when stretching to the desired size.

There are four default localizer feather symbols included with ArcGIS for Aviation:Charting in the PLTS_ICAO style as representation rules: fill on the top half, fill on the bottom half, fill in the whole feather, and no fill.

To use the localizer feather symbols, you need to have data you want to symbolize as the localizer feather. You can apply the default symbology for the localizer feather provided in the PLTS_ICAO sample style.

手順:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. On the main menu, click Customize → Toolbars → Representation.
3. On the main menu, click Customize → Toolbars → Aviation Editing.
4. Click the Production Start Editing button on the Aviation Editing toolbar.
   注意:

   The Manage Features and Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes windows automatically appear when you start an edit session using the Production Start Editing tool.

   ヒント:

   If the Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes window does not appear when you start an edit session, click the Show/Hide Attributes button on the Manage Features window.

5. Click the Select tool on the Representation toolbar.
6. Click to select the localizer feather you want to modify.
7. Click the Representation Properties button on the Representation toolbar.

   The Representation Properties dialog box appears.
8. Click the Resize button on the Representation toolbar.
9. Click the Tools tab at the bottom of the Representation Properties dialog box.
10. Uncheck the Size, X step, Y step, and Width check boxes.
    注意:

    Unchecking these properties allows the feather symbol to be resized without changing the size or distance between dots in your feather symbol or the width of the feather outline.
11. Click and drag the mouse in the ArcMap display to change the size of the localizer feather.

    The feather is resized.

    ヒント:

    If you know the exact length of the feather you want, you can resize the feather by selecting it (with the Resize tool active), clicking the Drawing tab of the Representation Properties dialog box, clicking the Global Effect tab, typing in the Length text box, and pressing the ENTER key.
