Split a Feature

When you split a feature, you can draw or select line or polygon to split the feature geometry. The resulting feature property values are determined by rules you specify in the Split and Merge Rules dialog box.


Open or create a map file		Open or create a new drawing using a map template

Assign a coordinate system		Features you add are transformed to this coordinate system

Connect to the feature source		Connect to the feature data store and create a version, if the organization requires it

Specify how class property values will be calculated for the split feature		The type of feature property you select determines what types of rules are available

Locate the feature to split		Find and select the feature to split

Check out the feature		By default, features are checked out automatically when you edit them, so this step may be unnecessary

Split the feature		You can draw or select a line or a polygon to split the feature

Optionally, set Update Edits Automatically		Queue your edits to save to the source all at once, or save them as you work

Check in the features		Save your changes to the feature source and release any locks
