Merge Features

You can merge two or more features of the same class into one feature. You can also merge features with drawing objects. 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 merged feature		The type of feature property you select determines what types of rules are available

Locate the features to merge		Find and select the features to merge

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

Optionally, locate drawing objects to merge with features		Find and select any number of drawing objects to merge with one or more features

Merge the features		You can specify a new or existing feature ID for the resulting 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 feature		Save your changes to the feature source and release any locks
