Modifying existing features by drawing a sketch (Production Mapping)

The Reshape Feature tool allows you to create a new sketch to replace an existing feature's shape. Features can be selected and reshaped individually. The geometry selected must be a polygon or polyline, and the new sketch must touch the existing feature in two places.

A polygon that has been reshaped

For example, you may need to change the shape of a river or road because the river's course has changed slightly or the road has been diverted. The feature can be reshaped based on the points you digitize on the map.

手順:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. If necessary, load data in the map.
3. On the main menu, click Customize → Toolbars → Production Editing.
4. Click the Production Start Editing button on the Production Editing toolbar.
   注意:

   The Manage Features and Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes windows automatically appear when you start an edit session using the Production Start Editing tool.

   ヒント:

   If the Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes window does not appear when you start an edit session, click the Show/Hide Attributes button on the Manage Features window.

5. Select the line or polygon feature you want to reshape using the Select Features tool on the Tools toolbar or the Edit tool on the Production Editing toolbar.
6. Click the Reshape Feature tool on the Production Editing toolbar.
7. Drag to draw a sketch that represents the new shape of the selected feature.

   The drawing must cross the existing feature's shape in two places.

8. Double-click the end node to finish the sketch.
