The S-57 Composer and S-100 modules are used to create, update, and customize S‑57 and S‑100 products for export to a platform-independent exchange set or a stand-alone file.

S-100 product functionality is available only through the add-on module, S-100, that is dependant on the S-57 Composer module. In order to enable this module, the S-57 Composer module must also be enabled. Special licensing is required to enable this module.

These modules include production and quality control tools to ensure compliance with S‑57/S-58, or S‑100 standards.

With the S-57 Composer and S-100 modules you can perform the following tasks:

Query, view, and edit a product.

Create S-57 and S-100 feature layers.

Create an S‑57 Edition 3.1 ENC data set or AML Edition 1.0, 2.1, or 3.0 data sets. This also includes Inland ENCs 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4.

Create, open and export S-100 products, if the S-100 module is licensed and enabled.

Build custom hydrographic charting products.

Create S‑57 and S-100 updates, re-issues, and new editions.

Create exchange sets.
