Exercise 3: Split the parcel

You will interactively divide a parcel into two unequal closed polylines.

To divide one parcel into two new parcels

1. In the Data Table, click the leftmost column for one parcel on Antigua Drive.

   Make a note of the address, so you can compare your results later.

   When you click the leftmost column, you select that entry in the Data Table and automatically zoom to that parcel in your map.

2. Hide the Data Table so you can see the parcel more easily. Right-click the Data Table title bar and click (Auto-Hide) in the Data Table title bar.
3. Click Modify menu Split.
4. At the first prompt, “Create new or multipart,” click New.

   You will split this parcel in two pieces. If you were creating more pieces, you would select Multipart.

5. At the second prompt, “Generate new feature ID or use existing,” click New.

   This option auto-generates a unique identifier for the new parcel.

6. At the third prompt, “Would you like to draw or select the line for the split,” click Draw.
7. Draw the line for the parcel split and press Enter.

   

   When you specify the last point and press Enter, the parcel is split.
