In arcmap we can view ENC S-57 format.  

Do de same in Pro.  Waiting for the S-100 is not a choice for us since now, and for many years, S-57 stay in place.

Having to maintain arcmap just for that is not easy.

Sorry, doesn't help.

I'm working with s-57 for decade.  So, if you look at my screen capture, the only thing you can load is the folder of ENC data without data like you can see in my picture.

Try again this morning to be sure.  Maybe you are working with maritime version of pro, not the basic.

My version is 3.1.2 so still need to stick with arcmap beside Pro.  Maybe one day all basic function of arcmap will be available in Pro.  I doubt it since we are in 3.x an still not pair of arcmap to make maps.

I looked through your posts and it seems that you are able to load the ENC but you just want to be able to expand the layer to see all the S-57 objects listed underneath like you can in ArcMap? Is this correct?

For what it's worth, in my previous post, I am not using the Maritime extension, just standard ArcGIS Pro. 

Everything you see in my previous post you can do with just basic ArcGIS Pro in 3.1. 

You cannot expand the cell to see all the S-57 objects underneath, so if that is what you are asking about, then it is true, this functionality is not part of the new ENC Layer in ArcGIS Pro. 

You should add this to the Ideas page in Pro if you want to have access to each of the individual ENC objects under the cell layer.

Hi Craig, 

Sorry, my English is not very good so.  In arcmap, you add layer like soundg_p easily by choosing the ENC folder you want like CA271031.  After that you have a layer dataset of the same name and TXT files.  When you open the layer dataset you see all ENC layers available for this group.  You can then choose one or many layer to import and see in arcmap. 

In my version of Pro 3.1.2, I can go to the folder of my ENC folders.  I can choose the folder CA271031, by exemple, but, unlike in arcmap and what you show in your captures, you can't go further.  You see none of the layers inside and, if you click add, the result is only, like I show, the folder name without any layer in it.  So impossible to select one layer or all the layers.

Maybe you have to activate something in the option but I can't find where.

Thank you for your clarification. Your observation is correct. You do not have access to the individual sub-layers in the current version of the ENC Layer in ArcGIS Pro.

Exactly, still stick with arcmap.  Maybe in 4.x, after many years, Pro will be useful to cartographers like arcmap.

You can still get a use of all the ENC S-57 layers (see my previous posts
and also ESRI Documentation on that matter).

Sorry but maybe you have the marine version.  In the basic, add or drop .000 files is not working.

So Pro still not advance enough to join arcmap.

Hi @MarcelSt-Germain 

I have ArcGIS Pro 3.1.1 installed, no Maritime extension.

I just drag-and-dropped US5OR37M.000 that I downloaded from NOAA  U.S. Office of Coast Survey (noaa.gov) ENC site as part of the zipped current ENC for USCG 13th District. I then right clicked the file and 'zoom to layer' to get this view in my Map window as well as the ribbon change to add "ENC" functions.

When I click on the "Symbology" in that ribbon, I get a change on the right-hand side per below, and changing the Transparency in the top-middle gives me changes in the Map window, too.

That is very correct, and that is what I have been saying in my most recent
post and in previous posts.
You only need the Maritime to be able to import ENC S-557 into GDB with a
proper template.

Hi, Still not working for me.  Like always, ESRI complicate what they have made simple before.

Effectively, nor drag and drop nor add let S-57 layer show in my project.  I finally try in a blank project and I saw raster map of my ENC. Even if I copy and paste the layer on my project, nothing show after "Zoom to layer". I try changing the projection to Nad83 like in my test projection, without success. I try to remove all layers except the ENC one, still the same.  Even, drag and drop the same ENC doesn't work.

So not very useful for reference.  Also, no way to make calculation nor choosing the only file we need.  It's just an ENC viewer not useful for reference since you can't load it on a project.

In arcmap, you can load the layers you need and only them, put the symbology you need and show label you want.  We doesn't need an ENC viewer. I always use it to show if change are made in my project with, by exemple, labeling the sound_pt in meter and feet.

Until ESRI finally give us the ability to load ENC, like in arcmap, have to complicate our life with Pro plus a copy in arcmap.
