ENC EDITOR

ENC EDITOR Summary The ENC EDITOR allows you: Modify existing S-57 Charts Create new S-57 Charts Create sounding overlays for S-57 Validate S-57 Charts Digitize GeoTifs to S-57 Export S-57 to DXF Perform real time verification Pilot Planning

Launching ENC EDITOR ENC EDITOR is used to create and/or modify electronic charts in S-57 format. Located under the ‘Final Products’ menu. ENC EDITOR reads the GEODETIC PARAMETERS for the current project. Your S-57 data is always saved in WGS-84. HYPACK performs a datum transformation (if needed) and a grid conversion to correctly display the S-57 chart on any projection. You cannot read S-63 (encrypted S-57 files) into the ENC EDITOR. This is due to copyright restrictions.

Importing Soundings Soundings can be integrated: As a part of your S-57 Chart As an update to your S-57 Chart As a separate sounding overlay. AVI

Checks for vertical clearances. Optional color schemes Pilot Planning Tool Adjusts safety, shallow and deep contours based on tide, keel clearance and safety margin to show safe pathways. Checks for vertical clearances. Optional color schemes S-52 Bathy Blue Red, Yellow & Green

Color Schemes for Depth Areas These schemes can be set in either the HYPACK SHELL or the ENC EDITOR. Red-Yellow-Green Bathy Blue Traditional S-52

S-57 Sounding Overlays AVI Base S-57 chart does not contain any soundings. Sounding Overlay contains only soundings and lies on top of the Base S- 57. Used by the New Orleans Corps of Engineers. AVI Easy as 1,2,3  1. Load Soundings 2. Set Options 3. Press Create Final S57 Overlay

Hiding Unused Contours For pilot planning, you need to have lots of contours! To hide unused contours from the display, go to the Display Options window (F9) and change the ‘Hide Extra Contours’ check box.

Used to determine if your chart violates ENC Encoding rules. ENC Validation AVI Used to determine if your chart violates ENC Encoding rules.

Used “on-the-water” to compare actual features to chart features. ENC Verification Used “on-the-water” to compare actual features to chart features. Runs in conjunction with HYPACK SURVEY. User marks a target at the location of a feature. User examines ENC Chart to see if feature exists and is in the correct location. User can then: Move the existing feature to the new location. Create a new feature at the new location. Delete an existing feature. AVI Used in conjunction with HYPACK SURVEY to adjust the positions of objects in your S-57 file.
