Batch shrink lines at each end

Question

ArcGIS Pro 2.6.8; File Geodatabase

I have a line feature class. I want to shrink the lines at each end by n meters.

How can I shrink the lines in ArcGIS Pro? I want to perform this operation on 4000 lines, not edit individual lines.

Thanks.

Write a python script and loop through them.

Thanks. Those tools seem to only work when editing one feature at a time. If I select multiple features, then the Divide/Split buttons are greyed out.

I edited the question to make it clear that I want to do it to an entire feature class, not just a single line when editing.

Divide by "From start/end of line".

Or Split if you don't need the precision of Divide.
