Creating a difference polygon

Production Mapping ライセンスで利用できます。

If you are creating polygons of land uses, soils, counties, or property ownership, for example, you often need to create polygons next to one another. The polygons should share a border, but you want to avoid digitizing the border twice or having overlaps or spaces between polygons. You can use the Production Difference Polygon construction tool when creating new polygons to help ensure that your data forms a continuous fabric. With the Production Difference Polygon tool, you can digitize a new polygon that adjoins an existing polygon, using the existing polygon's geometry and the edit sketch to define the edges of the new polygon.

The Production Difference Polygon construction tool is similar to the Auto-Complete Polygon tool. However, the Production Difference Polygon tool allows you to create a new polygon that is coincident to polygons in any layer, not just polygons from the same layer.
