An overview of the How to fit a tracing

1. Find approximate location


new ADMIRALTY NM
of tracing on chart (grid box)
tracings X
Tracing Updated
Examples
Insert Chart Examples
The feature to be inserted is always depicted in its true
position on the tracing. If there is not enough clear space
to insert the feature in its true position (as per the tracing)
then the new feature can be drawn in an open area of the
chart and ‘arrowed in’ to a small circle in the correct
position.
2. Find exact location using lines of latitude

and longitude
Move
Move is the only instruction depicted by an arrow symbol.
The feature will be shown in its new position with the
arrow drawn from its existing position. Occasionally
features are moved a short distance from their original
position. Draw a small circle at the new position and
arrow the feature to that position.

Replace/Amend
The new feature will overlay the existing feature to be
deleted and is accompanied by ‘in lieu’. Wherever
possible, overwriting of existing information should be
avoided. Point symbols (i.e. depths, buoys, wrecks) should
be inserted in a clear space and ‘arrowed’ into position.
Legends may be amended by inserting the new text in
clear space adjacent to the existing charted detail.

Delete
All deletions are depicted by a double strike through line
with the deletion symbol annotated adjacent to. Deletions
are made by drawing two straight lines through each
piece of text or feature to be deleted.
