Creating features by splitting and intersecting existing features

Available with Production Mapping license.

The Create and Intersect Features construction tool allows you to digitize a sketch line that crosses another polyline from the same feature class as the selected template. This results in four intersected and split features.

A new feature is created by intersecting and splitting an existing feature

   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.
