Create S-57 Product

Create a new S‑57 product from scratch. Product types are ENC, IENC, IENC Overlay, AML, AML 3.0, and MIO.

This command uses the Create S-57 Product wizard to generate a standard ENC/AML file name and exchange set when the data set is exported.

The parameters for creating the products are read from the product information file. See Product Information File for more information. To create a specialized hydrographic charting product, make sure that the product information file is updated to include these products.

Once created, the product is displayed in the Layers window. The parent layer contains product metadata. Child layers contain data. The Layout layer contains the product boundary.

The product boundary is defined by the product layer (PROLAY) feature. The coordinates for the product boundary are included with the product metadata.

Procedure

1. Select the Create S-57 Product command.

The Create S‑57 Product wizard is displayed. Some parts of the wizard are specific to the type of product being created.

2. Define the product using the wizard.
