Copying masking rules
Masking rules for one type of aeronautical chart, for example, Enroute charts, are similar to those needed for other types of aeronautical charts. To reduce the level of effort to create the same masking rules for multiple product class versions, it is possible to copy masking rules from one product class version to another product class version using the Masking Rule Manager tool.
- Start ArcMap.
- On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Aeronautical Data Management.
- Click the Masking Rule Manager button
on the Aeronautical Data Management toolbar.The Masking Rule Manager dialog box appears.
- Click the Manage tab.
- Click the Select Class drop-down arrow and choose the product class that contains the masking rule(s) you want to copy.
- Click the Select Product Class Version drop-down arrow and choose the product class version that contains the masking rule(s) you want to copy.
- Check the check box next to the masking rule you want to copy from the selected product class version.
Tip:You can check more than one check box to copy more than one rule, or click Select All to copy all the rules from the product class version you selected.
- In the Select Product Class Version(s) to copy to area, check the check box next to the product class version in which you want to paste the selected masking rule(s).
You can select more than one product class version to copy to, or click Select All to copy the rule(s) to all product class versions listed.
- Click Copy Selected Rule(s).
The selected masking rule(s) are pasted into the selected product class version(s). If the Masking Rule Conflict Resolution dialog box appears, there is a duplicate rule. You can resolve these conflicts to ensure that the masking rules within each product class version are unique. If there are no conflicts, the Masking Rule Manager Results dialog box appears with the results of the last iteration.
- Click Close to close the results dialog box.
- Click Close on the Masking Rule Manager dialog box.
