Managing overlapping routes with route processing

The Route Processing tool can perform the following actions:

• Hide or offset overlapping cartographic routes for a product.
• Combine the identifiers of overlapping routes that have the same type.
• Calculate fields on a route based on a rule condition.

This functionality allows you to simplify a product and improve its cartographic appearance.

You must configure route processing preferences settings before running the Route Processing tool.

Steps:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. Ensure that the correct product library and production database are set in the Data Management pane on the Production Properties dialog box.
3. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Aeronautical Data Management.
4. Click the Route Processing button on the Aeronautical Data Management toolbar.

6. Check the check box next to the instance name.
7. Click the Preference drop-down arrow and choose a preference name.
