Extending line features by drawing a sketch (Defense Mapping)

The Extend/Trim Selected Line With Edit Sketch tool allows you to extend or trim a line. If the digitized sketch does not cross the selected features, the line is extended to the digitized sketch, regardless of the topological direction of the sketch.
