Issues drawing/editing polygons

Question

Hello mapping community,

I've done this type of editing in ArcPro for a while but this is a new issue I’ve encountered recently:

When digitizing a polygon, the vertices automatically snap together when they are nearby. The drawn polygon on the left became the polygon on the right when I finished the sketch. I tried this with snapping on, snapping off and various snapping tolerances. All produced the same result.

I checked the coordinate system for my map and the feature class are in the same projection.

Are there settings that would be causing my polygons to behave this way?

Thanks,

Emilie

Interesting.  So I think your 2 US Survey Feet is the problem.  This, generally speaking, should not be set higher than the initial settings else "bad things happen."  I'd create a new feature class with default settings and test the digitzing again.  I'm thinking vertices are collapsing on one another due to the high XY Tolerance.

I have my snapping set to the default 10 pixels, though I've tried toying with different tolerances to no avail. When I check the properties of the feature class, its XY tolerance says "2 US Survey Feet" (0.6 meters). The distance between the vertices that are snapping together is 4 feet.

I'll give that soft reset a try! Thank you.

I've not been using streaming construction, just adding vertices by clicking along, but thank you for the reply.
