Export Geodatabase To VPF (Maritime Tools)
Summary
Exports hydrographic data from maritime geodatabases to Vector Product Format (VPF).
Usage
Source geodatabases must be within the same Region## and conform to one of the following naming patterns:
Digital Nautical Chart (DNC)—<Scale Category Designator><Region##><Designator>
Browse—Browse<Region##>
Tactical Ocean Data (TOD)—TOD<#><Region##><Designator>
The Notice to Mariners Date parameter value will populate the date as metadata in all exported libraries. Use the following format for each respective product:
DNC and TOD0—<2-digit week of year>/<2-digit year>
TOD2 and TOD4—<2-digit month of year>/<4-digit year>
The output location is a designated directory that creates the correct VPF file structure per region.
The DNC## folder will be created containing the libraries and digital hash table (DHT) and library attribute table (LAT) files.
