conversion from S-57 to S-101 using the toolbox in ArcGIS Pro

Question

During the conversion process from S-57 to S-101 using the toolbox in ArcGIS Pro, I have a few questions: * During the conversion process, a S-101 Feature Catalogue is required. Where can I find other standard datasets, such as S-131, S-111, etc.? * I am displaying based on a downloaded “MaritimeS101project2_1.aptx” (I found a S-101 Group.lyrx in the help documentation. Where can I download it?) Is this the best way to display S-101 in Pro? Where can I get the latest version of this file at any time? Are there any other display strategies? * If I want to modify the display symbol , do I need to draw according to the in the S101 Feature Catalogue XML document and then save it into the layer file in Pro? This is too difficult for me. * Can Maritime Server support the display of S-101? * If I need to add a feature, in addition to modifying the XML catalog, is it done by creating subtypes in the geodatabase in Pro? thanks!

Thank you, I now understand that it is a multi-point feature. There were originally 1441 records, but now there are only 11 records. then, I hope to label of water depth. I used the tool "Add Z information" to pull the Z values from the multi-point feature, but there are only 11 values, which doesn't seem right. .Can you give me a suggestion?

2. Based on the image you attached to your previous message, it looks like you are already using the S-101 Group layer.

4. No. You cannot yet view S-101 natively in Pro or Enterprise like you can with S-57. Currently, you need to import the S-101 dataset into a geodatabase and use the S-101 Group layer file (as you have shown in the image you put in your previous comment). S-102 and S-111 can be added to ArcGIS Pro without conversion and the ability to view the S-101 datasets directly will be available in a future release.

5. You can download the S-131 feature catalogue from the IHO website referenced in my previous comment. Here is a direct link to S-131

https://registry.iho.int/productspec/view.do?idx=193&product_ID=S-131&statusS=5&domainS=ALL&category=product_ID&searchValue=

From there you can use the Import S-100 Feature Catalogue geoprocessing tool to create the S-131 geodatabase schema. S-131 datasets are GML, and Esri does not yet support import and export of GML datasets. That will come in a future release. For now, you can create the S-131 schema using the feature catalogue and the Import S-100 Feature Catalogue tool, and you can create features in the S-131 geodatabase.

The Soundings are not labeled because they are multipoint - this is according to the specification. However, we have a task in our backlog to pull the z values out so that the soundings can be labeled individually.

thank you very much！

1.When I downloaded the latest version of the data file, I found it  S-101_FC_1.2.3.xml

2. With your help, I have already downloaded this file.

3 and 4 I understood

5. I ‘m sorry ，it means extend the data model，not add feature， in the past,when I extend S-57 object，it was achieved by adding subtypes. I'm not sure if S-101 follows the same approach.

thanks again！
