Hey George, This is a strange dialog we have never seen before with an Esri Aeronautical Solution install.  We would like to diagnose this information with you but we will need some additional information form you.  Can you please answer the following questions and then email them to aero@esri.com .  - What is the most recent installation of the Mapping and Charting Solutions do you have installed? (eg. 10.1, 10.1 SP1, 10.1 SP1 QFE3. etc.) - What is the Operating System of the machine? - Can you please send us screenshots of your extensions dialog and the �??Availability�?? folder in the ArcGIS Administrator dialog. - Are you using Concurrent or Single Use licenses? ...

I think the possible key here is that you mention using a Line Callout.  Why this is interesting is we have just resolved a similar issue from another customer having issues on certain features which utilize a line callout.  I would suggest installing 10.1 SP1 QFE2 (when it becomes available) and try the tools again.  If you are still seeing the issue, please submit a customer support incident with a detailed workflow and we will investigate the issue for you. ...

The Create Feature Linked Annotation tool within the Aeronautical Solution will create all annotation feature based on the source cartographic layer within a specified Area of Interest.  On top of this, it will automatically adjust the desired size of the annotation to match the scale of the selected AOI as well.  The Update Annotation tool will update the annotation based on the source field or label expression that was used to create it.  It too, will update the size of the annotation based on the scale set within the AOI.  In reality, the Create Feature Linked Annotation tool will actually run the Update Annotation tool during creating to ensure the size is correct.  Here are the help documents which outline some of their functionality: Aeronautical feature-linked annotation: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Aeronautical_feature_linked_annotation/010400000134000000/ Creating feature-linked annotation using the Create Feature Linked Annotation tool: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/using_the_Create_Feature_Linked_Annotation_tool/0104000002sp000000/ Updating Annotation: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//0104000002t3000000 In your scenario you describe about 'edition 2' you have a couple of options.  Your first option would be to delete, modify and create annotation each time you need to publish your product.  You would use Create Feature Linked Annotation to create all of the annotation for the product, and then modify and delete as you see fit.  In this case you probably wouldn't need to run Update Annotation unless you were manually modifying some of the data used for creating the annotation.  Another option might be to create another Product or instance within Product Library and re-initialize the product in a second instance.  This will allow you more cartographic control over what features are created as well as provide you a static version of the product you do not have to modify each time you would like to publish it.  The automatic updates of features can be a little misguiding.  Any annotation features created with the Create Feature Linked Annotation tool will not update dynamically once the source features have been edited.  This is done by design.  In this case if the source field, Label expression, or VST calculated field has been changed for an existing piece of annotation, you will simply need to run the Update Annotation tool for the instance and all feature will be updated based on the source and AOI scale. ...

This is a known issue at this time and the Visual Specifications team is working hard to resolve this.  If you would like further updates on this incident, please contact Esri Customer Support and reference Incident #1104188. ... View more

The purpose of entering a SQL whereclause is to provide the tool with the identity of the feature upon which the OIS surfaces are created upon.  The construction of this statement would be the same as entering a definition query on a layer inside of ArcMap.  Here is an example: OBJECTID = '1234' If you'd like to discuss specifics of your work, please send an email to aero@esri.com with your contact information and we'll be glad to help! ...

The 'Input Runway Features' dialog on the ICAO Annex 14 OIS tool requires a z-enabled line feature class, for example a runway centerline.  If you are using the AIS schema provided with the Aeronautical Solution, runway centerlines are modeled in the ADHPSurfaceLine feature class.  If you are using the Airports schema provided with the Aeronautical Solution, runway centerlines are modeled in the RunwayCenterline feature class. The web help for this tool can be found at the following url: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//010m0000000m000000 I hope this answers your question! ... View more

The Data Model Workspace should point to the AIS schema. The location of this xml workspace is noted in the previous post. The on-line help contains the instructions for creating a new data model version . ... View more

Setting the Data Model Version is available within the Production Properties -> Tool Options -> Data Models. Within the Data Models dialog you can Add or Create any data model you wish to be recognized within your production system.  Please follow the steps from the Creating A New Data Model Version help document to define and add the AIS data model provided with the Esri Aereonautical Solution.  The AIS and AIS_Charting xml schemas can be found on your local machine at C:\Program Files (x86)\ESRIAeronautical\Desktop10.0\Schemas. ...

Hey Ercan, Unfortunately, the tutorial you are trying to run is not an Aeronautical Solution compatible tutorial.  If you unistall the Esri Aeronautical Solution, you will be able to run through the tutorial as it was designed. ... View more

Hey Ercan, There are a few things to understand about the AIS data model and the Esri Aeronautical Solution before you proceed with your own data model.  First, the Esri Aeronautical Solution is built around our AIXM compliant AIS data model.  A substantial amount of the tools within the solution require certain feature classes (and sometimes fields) that are present in the data model to operate successfully.  The good news is the AIS data model is fully extendable to meet the needs of each individual customer meaning you have the flexibility to add feature classes, tables, fields, domains and subtypes to AIS model to capture any data to meet you own specifications.  This will be a great question to ask your instructor during your Aeronautical training and they will be able to provide you with specific details according to your own specification.  If you would like more information, or would like to provide us with some sepcific details about your own data model before your training course, please email them to us and we can address your data model in detail.   Thank You. ...
