Editing in ArcMap

Getting started with editing in ArcMap An overview of editing in ArcMap The structure of vector datasets The sketch construction tools Shortcut keys for editing in ArcMap Adding the editing toolbars Adding the data you want to edit Starting and stopping an edit session Selecting features Moving features Rotating features Deleting features Copying and pasting features Setting the number of decimal places displayed for measurements About editing your geodatabase in ArcMap Creating new features About creating new features Creating point features and vertices Creating lines and polygons Creating segments using angles and lengths Creating segments using angles from existing segments Creating segments that are circular arc curves Creating segments by tracing features Using the snapping environment Creating edit sketch geometry with the Traverse tool Traverse file format About setting distance units Setting direction measuring systems and units Using a digitizer Creating features from other features Copying parallel line features Creating buffers Mirroring features Creating and exploding multipart features Combining features from different layers Intersecting features Editing existing features Splitting lines and polygons Trimming lines Extending lines Flipping lines Dividing lines with points Reshaping lines and polygons using a sketch Adding and deleting vertices Moving vertices Changing the properties of a sketch Scaling features Clipping features Stretching a feature's geometry proportionately Smoothing and generalizing features Editing topology Editing attributes Spatial adjustment Editing geometric networks Editing relationships and related objects Editing annotation Editing dimension features
