The release of ArcGIS Pro 3.3 for ArcGIS Aviation Airports and ArcGIS Aviation Charting includes new and enhanced tools to further support your airport, charting, data management, migration, and design needs.
New tools
The following ArcGIS Aviation Charting tools are new at ArcGIS Pro 3.3.
Update Aviation Annotation
The Update Aviation Annotation tool has been added to the Cartography toolset. This tool allows you to update complex annotation layers and apply text and annotation scale updates at the same time.
Aviation Abbreviate
A new Annotation command, Aviation Abbreviate, helps quickly solve label and symbol crowding that can come up during automated workflows of aeronautical chart generation.
For example, an annotation feature is selected.
Using the Aviation Abbreviate tool, with the Abbreviated Label selection, the annotation is modified based on the custom label expression code.
To customize the command for your needs, modify the preferences in the Aviation preferences tool.
