Chart Automation

Question

Hello everyone!

I have a question regarding Paper Chart Creation using Chart Automation tool. Please see below workflow I did to understand main steps I should follow to create Paper Chart.

My Questions:

Q1. Do I need to create fresh FGD for local Paper Chart and import to it Paper Chart Schema?
Q2. After creating FGD for Chart can I import all Nautical datasets from NIS database for ENC using Feature Class to Geodatabase tool? Or c=should I use other tool for copying?
Q3. Do I need to copy Product Coverages polygon and Product Definitions relations together from NIS (ENC)?

I tried to follow these steps shown in Workflow Diagram but I got an error when I tried to run Chart Automation tool it said something like this features already exists.

If required I can create short video demonstration of error with all steps I took to replicate the error I am getting.

Thank you in advance for your assistance with troubleshooting my problem!

With respect,
Naur

@NauryzbekAbylkair The annotation you are seeing is coming from the grid definition xml template. This template was originally designed in the Grids And Graticules designer, in ArcMap, that is why the documentation comes from ArcMap.

In ArcGIS Pro, CAT is calling the Make Grids And Graticules Layer tool to generate the grids. The annotation in the lower right corner of the panel is showing the grid dimensions, not the page size/paper size. So your page size is still A0. 🙂

CAT is not changing the page size. If you want to check or change your page size, you can do that in the Layout Properties > Page Setup. See:  Change a layout

Thanks,

@PaulinaKarkauskaite Thank you very much for your help with solution! I am a bit confused that the documentation for ArcMap but I am using ArcGIS Pro v 3.4.3. As far as I concerned ArcGIS Pro doesn't use Annotation elements and heavily rely on Python Labeling Expressions.

How can I change settings in the ArcGIS Pro to make it work for A0 paper format while I am running CAT?

Thanks,
Nauryzbek

@NauryzbekAbylkair the annotation in your screenshot represents the length of the bottom and right grid segments.

See: Annotation styles for grids

Your layout page size stays the same after running CAT.

Let me know if you have additional questions on this. 🙂

Thanks,
