Creating lines and polygons with composite templates (Production Mapping)

You digitize a new line of a polygon feature's shape by drawing an edit sketch, which is the underlying representation of the feature's geometry. As you sketch, you see a preview with the actual symbology used for that template, with the vertices symbolized as red and green squares.

A sketch is composed of all the vertices and segments of the feature. Vertices are the points at which the sketch changes direction, such as corners; segments are the lines that connect the vertices.

步骤:
  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 Production Start Editing on the Production Editing toolbar.
    注注:

    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.

    提示提示:

    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 Show/Hide Attributes on the Manage Features window.

  5. Click the Create tab on the Manage Features window.
  6. Choose a composite template with at least one line or polygon layer on the Create tab on the Manage Features window.

    A construction tool is selected by default.

  7. Choose a construction tool.
  8. Click the map or provide the proper inputs to build the sketch.
  9. Finish the sketch to create the feature.
