In ArcGIS, the "Edit Vertices," "Reshape," and "Split" tools are commonly used for editing and modifying features within a geographic dataset. Here's how to use these tools in English:
1. **Edit Vertices Tool:**
- The "Edit Vertices" tool allows you to directly manipulate the vertices (corners or control points) of a feature, such as a line or polygon. To use this tool, follow these steps:
a. Select the feature you want to edit.
b. Activate the "Edit Vertices" tool.
c. Click on the vertex you want to move or make changes to.
d. Drag the vertex to the desired location or make any necessary adjustments.
2. **Reshape Tool:**
- The "Reshape" tool allows you to modify the shape of a feature by adding or removing vertices along its boundary. Here's how to use it:
a. Select the feature you want to reshape.
b. Activate the "Reshape" tool.
c. Click on the feature's boundary where you want to add a new vertex or click and drag to remove an existing vertex.
d. Continue reshaping the feature as needed.
3. **Split Tool:**
- The "Split" tool is used to divide a feature into two or more separate features. To use this tool:
a. Select the feature you want to split.
b. Activate the "Split" tool.
c. Click on the feature at the location where you want to create a split.
d. This will separate the feature into two or more distinct features, each with its own attributes.
These tools are essential for editing and refining your geographic data in ArcGIS. Be sure to save your edits when you're done, as appropriate, to ensure your changes are applied to the dataset.
