Creating lines and polygons with composite templates

获得 Production Mapping 许可后可用。

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.

The following composite construction tools can be used to create line and polygon features from composite templates:

Construction tool name	Sketch type
Coincident Lines	Line
Coincident Polygons	Polygon
Polygon/Line	Polygon
Point at Polygon Center	Polygon
Point at Polygon Start	Polygon
Point at Line Start or End	Line
Point at Line Center	Line
Points at Polygon Vertices	Polygon
Points at Line Vertices	Line

1. 启动 ArcMap。
2. 如有必要，可在地图中加载数据。
3. 在主菜单上，单击自定义 > 工具条 > 生产编辑。
4. 单击生产编辑工具条上的启动生产编辑按钮 。

   注：

   使用启动生产编辑工具开始编辑会话时，系统将自动显示管理要素和创建属性、更新属性或元数据属性窗口。

   提示：

   如果开始编辑会话时未显示创建属性、更新属性或元数据属性窗口，请单击管理要素窗口上的显示/隐藏属性按钮 。

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.
