Tool

Description

Batch Make Defense Grids and Graticules

Creates one or more grids and graticules layers from multiple selected areas of interest (AOIs) with the Esri 国防制图 Make Defense Grids and Graticules tool. A grids and graticules layer is a group layer composed of point, line, polygon, and annotation feature classes. Masking and symbology are applied to the layers within the group layer to create feature-based cartographic effects for high-end map products.

Building Offsets

Esri Defense Mapping cartographic production tool that aligns, moves, or hides building marker symbols based on a specification defined in an .xml file.

Create Contours

Esri Defense Mapping cartographic production tool that creates and smooths contours from an input raster.

Grid Xml Selector

Esri Defense Mapping cartographic production tool that returns the correct grid .xml file for a given grid type and area of interest (AOI). You can use the returned .xml file in the Make Defense Grids and Graticules or Batch Make Defense Grids and Graticules tools.

Make Defense Grids and Graticules

Generates a grids and graticules layer for Esri 国防制图 products. This tool supports the creation of single, dual, and zipper zone grids. It simplifies grid creation by automatically populating several parameters based on a selected feature and an input grid type. It determines zone type and the correct grid .xml template used to generate the grids and graticules layer. It also determines a grid's primary and ancillary coordinate system and estimates reference scale and annotation mask margin.

Populate Map Sheet Info

Populates text in defense-specific graphic elements on an ArcMap layout. Text is populated with feature attribute values from a selected area of interest (AOI) feature in the map. The tool searches each graphic element for bracketed ([]) text. It compares bracketed text to values in a list. Any matching values are replaced in the graphic element with an attribute value from the selected AOI feature.
