Creating automated polygon mask layers

The Automated Polygon Masking tool allows you to generate mask layers for polygon features that are coincident with the coastline. This tool streamlines the workflow by running a series of models that detect features from the DangersA, OffshoreInstallationsA, MilitaryFeaturesA, PortsAndServicesA, RegulatedAreasAndLimtsA, SeabedA, and TracksAndRoutesA polygon layers that are coincident with features from the CoastlineL polyline layer and creates polygons at those locations.

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 > Production Editing.
3. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Nautical Editing Cartography.
4. Click the Production Start Editing button on the Production 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.

5. Click the Automated Polygon Masking button on the Nautical Editing Cartography toolbar.

   The Automated Masking Layers dialog box appears.

   
6. Check the check box next to the layers for which you want to create polygon masks.
   Tipp:

   You can click Select All to select all the layers from the list or Unselect All to unselect all the layers.

7. Click OK.

The layers are created and added to ArcMap.

Tipp:

You can symbolize the generated polygon layers and use them as masks in the Advanced Draw Options to hide the outlines of the polygon features that are coincident with the shoreline.
