  • Drag-and-drop a feature file (.000 only) onto the S57 CS file field. The “+” browse button may also be used. Note that this feature file must also contain the CS soundings.
  • Drag-and-drop a dense, survey sounding selection (.000 only) onto the SS file field. The “+” browse button may also be used.
  • The directory and filename of loaded data will populate in the respective field of Data inputs.

  • The Clear data button may be used to remove all data inputs.

In Data outputs:

  • The output Formats may be customized. The user has the option to suppress Shapefile and KML output.
  • Output files location is controlled by the Create project folder and Per-tool sub-folder flags. The four available combinations are:
    • No flags set (see Fig. 2.35, pane A). The outputs are stored directly under the default or user-defined location.
    • Only the Per-tool sub-folders flag set (see Fig. 2.35, pane B). The outputs are stored in a tool-specific sub-folder (in the default or user defined-location).
    • Only the Create project folder flag set (see Fig. 2.35, pane C). The outputs are stored in a survey folder (in the default or user defined-location). This is the default setting.
    • Both flags set (see Fig. 2.35, pane D). The outputs are stored in tool-specific sub-folders in a survey folder (in the default or user defined-location).

  • The ensuing functions will open the output folder automatically upon execution; however, if needed, the specified output folder may be accessed by clicking the Open folder button.
