Cartographic Tools:
MicroStation / MGE
MicroStation / MGE
All compilation and quality control in CAD setting
All radar maps in design file format (DGN)
Map data with DGN comprise line strings and cells for data processing
MGE critical tool for the RVM cartographer
MGE provides map conversion and coordinate read-out capability
Map conversion moves map data from one map to another with different
parameters while maintaining location accuracy
MGE is essential tool for updating RVM maps in two projections, and
differing radar centers with the same map data. The two projections are:

SDAT is an application tool suite that supports post-operation analysis and engineering
of airspace and traffic flows
It performs analysis of potential conflicts, traffic density and traffic loading in air traffic
control sectors, military airspace and other airspace volumes
For RVM, SDAT serves as a new method for creating MVA FAA approval submission
paper plots as well as the creation and revision of RVM MVA maps
SDAT shapefiles are sent to RVM and stored on servers for compilation and quality
control work
SDAT directly loads in the facilitys RVM map in LINE GP format
MVA line work must be digitized accurately to ensure that it reflects the original line work
submitted to RVM via the shapefile
The reason for digitizing from the shapefile instead of using the shapefile is due to
RVM strict processing requirements in producing the final map deliverable used at
facilities

The desired feature data files (shapefiles) are added to an ArcMap .mxd file
Navigate to the geographic area indicated by the map request sent by the facility
Select the required data using the Select features icon. For RVM, the best data
selection method is the interactive mode

Within MicroStation, the DXF file is imported into a special seed design file
set in geographic projection
The newly imported data has to be simplified or changed to line strings for
RVM processing before map conversion into the actual radar video map.
