New way of editing the polygons

Tips - editing the polygons


I suggest the simple method of editing the polygons.


If we want to cut the polygon especially multi-part polygons, we have to first explode the polygon. Then we have to use cut polygon features option in editor toolbar. After cutting that polygon, we have to merge all recently explode polygons and also the cut polygons.


Instead of doing in this way, we can go for edit tool in editor toolbar. Select the polygon using edit tool (caution: select the polygon on the edge of it. Otherwise the polygon will move). Immediately vertices will be drawn for that selected polygon. Now we can delete vertex by right clicking it. By the same way we can insert vertices to smoothen by selecting the point and right clicking it. We can also move vertices by using that move cursor on that particular vertex.


We can save some of our time in editing the polygon using this method.
