Backdrop Data

Access S-57 ENC, CARIS HOB, CARIS File, BSB, GeoTIFF, TFW Images, DGN, CRL and SHAPE files for Feature Creation and Editing.

Data Filtering

Organize and manage data by creating layers or selections based on filters for features geometries, types and attributes, FOIDS or status.

Data Import

Use custom-built scripts to import features from formatted text files or from a database using Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).

Import selected features from backdrop files.

HPD Workspaces

Create and access workspaces for efficiency in the management of source data production.

Access other Oracle databases and workspaces without exiting from the HPD program.

Session Files

Save Session files of the current data layers including zoomed views, display settings and backdrop files for future work.

Data Creation and Editing

Add new point, line and area features easily with tools for multiple feature creation and attribute definition.

Utilize advanced feature creation tools for creating complex area and line features.

Easily create Collection Objects and Master-Slaves with automatic relationship tracking.

Utilize advanced editing tools for modifying existing data.

Feature Templates

Create and re-use feature templates for efficiency in digitizing.

Use feature templates to define an object class, attributes, and spatial type.

Markers

Track data changes using markers including text descriptions and graphics.

Assign and locate markers for single features or groups of features using advanced filtering.

Track and comment on data changes through marker replies.

Projects

Create layers according to project.

Use project layers to identify the source features that were added or modified during a specific project.

Generalization

Assign generalized representations to multiple usages.

Create relationships between representations on multiple usages to manage future updates.

Apply updates or remove representations of features.

Track updates made to representations with filter layers.

Certification

Track and manage data workflows through the certification of features.

Automatically assign "Under Construction" statuses to new or modified feature spatials and attributes.

Identify features as being ready for product creation once all spatials and attributes have been set to "Verified".

Validation

Run S-57 ENC validation checks to report geometries and attributes that do not comply with the S-57 ENC Product Specifications.

Utilize advanced editing tools to repair these features prior to product creation.
