How are EGB_... data made during Create Rapid Graphic?

MalikThrane1 — Fri, 10 May 2019 09:22:39 GMT

Hello,

How are the EGB_... data made (more specific EGB_BANDS_A and EGB_BANDS_L)?

I made an MRG where the Elevation Guide only shows elevation points, and the Boundaries guide only show sea, see the attached Screenshot_1 and Screenshot_2.

So far I found out that the ASG_... data, for the Adjoining Sheet Guide,

is made from MapIndex.gdb\Reference\(LandLine, LandPoly and WaterPoly),

but these featuresclasses does not seem to affect the EGB_... data. The other featureclasses in the Reference feature dataset doesn't seem like what I am looking for.

Hence my question, how are the EGB_... data generated during Create Rapid Graphic, what data are they based on?

(I have made other MRGs where the Boundaries and Elevation Guide are dispayed as expected, but this is the first time I experience this...)

Best regards

Malik

Hi Malik

Did you populate the Input Rasters in the Custom options of the Create Rapid Graphic? You could also try testing this map sheet using the Create Elevation Guide Data GP tool in the Utilities folder. This tool logic is leveraged by Create Rapid Graphic for building the EGB data.

Hi Bo,

Yes I populated the Input Rasters, and I have now tried to run Create Elevation Guide Data, with no luck.

I tried to run Create Rapid Graphic in two different areas, filegdbs with the sameTRD version, and with the same DEM.

Area 1 does not populate the EGB data, while area 2 populates the EGB as expected.

It is the first time I experience this.

Area 1 is located high north. Can that be the reason?

I can send the two gdbs and the DEM for testing?

Best regards

Malik

Hi Dan,

Of course:

1. Windows 7

2. ArcMap Version 10.6.0.8321

3. Defense build: 394

4. The size of one of the zipped FGDB is 124.9 MB. When I try to upload it, I get a message that it is too big. How can I get passed this?

Best regards

Malik

Hi Malik,

Thank you for answering my questions and for providing the two FGDBs and the DEM for testing. I can reproduce your issue with Esri Defense Mapping 10.6 Build 394.

As of today, the latest release for Esri Defense Mapping 10.6 is Patch 3 Build 920. After I install Esri Defense Mapping 10.6 Patch 3 Build 920, I cannot reproduce the issue. Can you please try installing Patch 3? Esri Defense Mapping 10.6 Patch 3 is available at

https://support.esri.com/en/products/enterprise/gis-server-extensions/esri-defense-mapping-for-server/10-6-1#downloads?id=7640

Hi Dan,

Great, that sounds promising. Yes I will install Patch 3 and try it again, when my pc is done caching.

I think this will take some time, but I will reply when I have tested it.

Best Regards,

Malik
