Replacing cartographic line feature geometry (Aviation)

The Replace Geometry tool allows you to replace the geometry of a cartographic line feature with new geometry using elements you create with the Draw toolbar. One example where you can use this tool is cartographically generating a curved procedure leg to represent the Missed Approach. You can also use the Replace Geometry tool to curve procedure leg segments that form "pretzel" shapes near the runways. The Replace Geometry tool does not create a new cartographic feature; it only replaces the geometry of existing line features.

Example of the results of using the Replace Geometry tool

步骤:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Aviation Editing.
3. Click the Production Start Editing button on the Aviation Editing toolbar.
   注:

   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.

   提示:

   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.

4. Select an appropriate feature template in the Create tab on the Manage Features window.

   For example, ProcedureLeg.

5. Click the Edit tool on the Aviation Editing toolbar.
6. Select the cartographic line feature that you want to reshape.
7. Right-click the selected line and click Edit Vertices.
8. Right-click the selected line and click Insert Vertex to add a new vertex for the selected feature.
9. Right-click the selected line and click Finish Sketch.
10. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Draw.
11. Click the Curve button on the Draw toolbar.
12. Draw your new line geometry starting at the newly inserted vertex and double-click when you are finished.
13. Click the Replace Geometry button on the Aviation Editing toolbar.

    The cartographic line is replaced with the new geometry.

14. Click the Save Edits button on the Aviation Editing toolbar.
