Joining graphics

You can join two or more polygon graphics you've drawn on your map to form a new graphic that is a combination of the input graphics. You can use the following join methods:

• Union—Joins all graphics, creating one large graphic. Where the graphics overlap, the boundaries are removed.

  

• Intersect—Creates a new graphic from the shared area of the input graphics.

  

• Remove overlap—Creates a new graphic from the nonoverlapping areas of two input graphics.

  

• Subtract—Creates a new graphic by subtracting the overlapping area of one graphic from another.

  

1. Click the Select Elements tool on the Draw toolbar and click the graphics you want to join.
2. Click Drawing on the Draw toolbar, point to Graphic Operations, then click the method you want to use.

The graphics are joined.
