Generate Aviation Cartographic Features (Aviation)

Available with Aviation Charting license.

Summary

Creates cartographic copies of features based on the area of interest they fall into.

Optionally, copies can also be created based on attribute queries that further refine the criteria for candidate features or manual inclusion or exclusion of features.

Usage

• The extraction query and the inclusion/exclusion table will be populated by separate ArcGIS Aviation tools.

• The extraction query and the inclusion/exclusion table are included in the ArcGIS Aviation charting workspace schema.

Syntax

GenerateAviationCartographicFeatures(source_target_carto_features, aoi_features, {extraction_query_table}, {inclusion_exclusion_table})

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
source_target_carto_features [[source_features, target_features],...]	Associates source feature classes with the cartographic feature classes in which they will be generating features. The first row is the source feature class to copy from, and the second row is the target cartographic feature class to copy features to.	Value Table
aoi_features	A layer of area of interest (AOI) polygon features, that is used to spatially filter source features.	Feature Layer
extraction_query_table (Optional)	A table of where clauses to further filter source features based on an attribute query.	Table
inclusion_exclusion_table (Optional)	A table identifying manually included or excluded source features.	Table

Derived Output

Name	Explanation	Data Type
carto_feature_classes	The updated cartographic feature classes.	Feature Class

Code sample

GenerateAviationCartographicFeatures

The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the GenerateAviationCartographicFeatures tool:

import os
import arcpy

# set gp environment
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Aeronautical")

db_join_func = lambda fc : os.path.join(r"C:\data\MyData.gdb", fc)

# source feature classes
sources = map(db_join_func, ["ADHP", "Airspace", "ATSRoute"])

# Target feature classes
targets = map(db_join_func, ["ADHP_C", "Airspace_C", "ATSRoute_C"])

value_table_string = ";".join(map(" ".join, zip(sources, targets)))

# create feature layer with aoi feature selection
aoi_layer = "aoi_layer"
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(r"C:\data\MyData.gdb\AOI", aoi_layer,
                                  "Tag LIKE '%AREA LOW%'")

# Running tool
arcpy.GenerateAviationCartographicFeatures_aviation(value_table_string,
                                                    aoi_layer)

arcpy.CheckInExtension("Aeronautical")
