Creating Contour Lines with Defense Mapping

PaulAngell

In the Defense Mapping toolbox, for creating contours it requires a defense mapping feature class.  how do you create the blank feature class required?  The help doc only says a feature layer from an existing Defense Mapping Feature class, but this is the first one I am trying to make, so i don't have an existing one.

Hi Paul

Thanks for your question.  The Create Contours tool was designed to generate features for the products supported in Esri Defense Mapping.  For example, if you are building a Topographic Map (TM) using TDS data, you would use the HypsographyCurves feature class found in the TDS database schema. 

 

The TDS database can be found in the installed product files:

      <install directory>\ArcGIS\EsriDefenseMapping\Desktop10.6\Tds\Schema

If you have additional questions, reply here, or post them to the Esri Defense Mapping page.  Thanks.

Regards,

Bo
