Creating, modifying, and deleting cartographic features using Carto Commander
The Carto Commander tool creates, modifies, and deletes cartographic features. Based on defined settings, the tool will do the following:
- Create new cartographic features if new master features have been added to the production database.
- Synchronize existing cartographic features if the master features have been updated.
- Delete cartographic features no longer needed.
- Start ArcMap.Sugerencia:
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.
-
Make sure that the production properties are set correctly.
Properties include the Product Library Workspace, Production Database Workspace, Data Model Version, Product Class Version, and Instances Maintained. The Data Model Version needs to be set to the AIS Charting model.
- Ensure that your chart's data frame is set to the appropriate
instance by right-clicking the data frame, selecting Properties,
and clicking the Product Library tab.
- Ensure there is no active edit session.
- On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Aeronautical Data Management.

Click the Carto Commander button on the Aeronautical Data Management toolbar.
The Carto Commander dialog box appears. Instances to process are listed in the Instances to Process list and feature classes to process are in the Feature Class(es) to Process list.
- Check the Expand to saved Instances check box if you want to expand all maintained instances in the product library tree view, or manually expand the tree view to the instances on which you want Carto Commander to run.
-
Check the check boxes next to the instances you want to process.
The list displayed is built from the Instances Maintained set on theProduction Properties dialog box.
-
Check the check boxes next to the feature classes you want to process.
The list displayed is derived from all the cartographic feature classes set in the product library and production database on the Production Properties dialog box. Empty cartographic feature classes that have a corresponding empty master feature class are not displayed.
-
Click OK to initiate processing.
The OK button changes to Processing while the tool is running. Cartographic features are processed (created, modified, or deleted).
Once the Carto Commander tool processing completes, the Carto Commander Results dialog box appears showing the results. The results summarize the last iteration of the Carto Commander tool and report the cartographic feature class, master feature class, features to create, features created, and error count.
You can choose to view the log file, which provides more information about the Carto Commander tool processing. Each iteration of the Carto Commander tool appends information to the previous iteration information in the log file.
