ENC - S-57

[MarcelSt-Germain]

In arcmap we can view ENC S-57 format.  

Do de same in Pro.  Waiting for the S-100 is not a choice for us since now, and for many years, S-57 stay in place.

Having to maintain arcmap just for that is not easy.

FYI, if you enable pop-ups for each ENC in the table of contents in Pro,
this will give the capability to interrogate individual features in NOAA
ENCs and view their attributes, just like we could using the S-57 Viewer
extension in ArcMap. This functionality is available in v3.2. You also
need to have the Maritime extension as well.

We do not have marine extension, like in arcmap.  I do not need to interrogate, just make a rapid check.

So the return of S-57 viewer in Pro is what we need.  Until then, we have to stick to arcmap.

@MarcelSt-Germain - are you able to provide a screen shot of what you are doing?

[TomDePuyt]

@Mike_Espey  There is no requirement to have an ArcGIS Maritime license to use the ENC Layer functionality in ArcGIS Pro.    Also, with ArcGIS Pro 3.2, pop-ups have been automatically enabled by default for the ENC Layer.

Hello Marcel,
Below is a screenshot (hopefully you can see it). Responding w/email
since for some reason now unable to log into my Esri community account.

If you right-click on your ENC in the table of contents, make sure to
"Enable Pop-ups". This was the trick for us. Before we discovered that,
ENCs only came in as a backdrop and we couldn't look at the attributes
of features. I think we discovered this in 3.2 but it may have been
available earlier. It was quite a revelation to us!

Hi Tom,

You can see in the screen capture that 3 ENC was displayed, depth, contour and rock.

The contour is just displaying itself without labels.  The rock is located by a pentagon with its value under it.  The depth annotations are located with an octagon and the value on the right of it.

We use this feature since S-57 Viewer was integrated in arcmap.  It’s a simple and fast way to see if we have to correct the annotations when applying notice to mariner changes.

If we saw change, we just have to delete the annotations and doing convert lable to annotations to replace them.  The only drawback is to do manualy populate the TiledID field since we can do it automatically.

In Pro, we lost this basic feature and worse, you remove the append option to convert lable to annotations (maybe it's return with 3.3).  Like ESRI has always wanted to make Pro less productive than arcmap.

So, the ENC picture you show now is maybe nice but unusefull for us.  We need the S-57 viewer come back.

There's been a lot of discussion in this thread about the Pop-up window, and it's important to know that the Pop-up window results do not include all of the area features unless you select them by their edges or symbology. This makes ArcGIS Pro's Explore tool unreliable when interrogating ENCs; ArcMap's Identify tool did not have the same problem.  This problem must be fixed before my branch can use ArcGIS Pro for our work.
