Replacing cartographic line feature geometry

The Aeronautical 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 Aeronautical Replace Geometry tool to curve procedure leg segments that form "pretzel" shapes near the runways. The Aeronautical 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 Aeronautical Replace Geometry tool

Schritte:

1. Start ArcMap.
   Tipp:

   If the ArcMap - Getting Started dialog box appears, you can open a new or existing map document. You can also check the Do not show this dialog box in the future check box and click Open.

2. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Aeronautical Editing.
3. Click the Production Start Editing button on the Aeronautical Editing toolbar.
   Hinweis:

   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.

   Tipp:

   If the Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes window does not appear when you start an edit session, click the Link Feature Manager To Attributes Window button on the Manage Features window.

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

    The cartographic line is replaced with the new geometry.

12. Click the Save Edits button on the Aeronautical Editing toolbar.
