Menu | File > Import > Panel Data > [layer] |
Pop-up | Panel Data > [layer] (Layers window) |
Populate a panel with features from a source usage that fall within a panel boundary.
A panel area must be digitized before this command can be applied.
Features from more than one usage can be imported. For example, features from both a Harbour and an Aids to Navigation usages can be used to populate a panel. However, data must fall within panel extents.
When creating or updating database charts with panels that have a coordinate reference system (CRS) other than WGS84, the source extraction is converted to WGS84. The Chart Panel Data layers in the Attributes window will show a Source CRS section with CRS details for the source extraction. |
This command is the third step of a three-part process for creating charts and panels. See the graphic below for an overview of the chart creation process.

Procedure
1. Select Boundary layer in the Layers window.
2. Select the Create Panel Data from Source command.
3. [Optional] If you are using multiple usages, select another usage and repeat the Create Panel Data command.
A new Panel layer, is created. This panel holds the features for the chart. The panel name is always Panel [n]. The number is derived from the panel number (PANNUM) attribute. An example of a chart layer with a panel layer is shown below, accompanied by the Source CRS section in the Attributes window.
