ArcGIS Pro 2.1 | How to move only 1 feature when editing?

VincentLaunstorfer

Hi,

When in the Edith tab in ArcGIS Pro 2.1, with the tool Move selected, if I click on a point feature and move it, it moves all overlapping point features at the same time! I would like to only move one point feature, one by one.

The left-hand pane do show just one feature in the selected list but it still moves all overlapping points...

How can I change this behaviour? (no Topology is needed neither enabled).

It seems that one of two things is happening here...

1. Map topology may be enabled and thus maintaining coincidence of these points when moving one of them.  If this is the case it can be easily fixed by selecting "No Topology" from the drop down on the Edit tab's "Manage Edits" group.  This choice will be stored in the project and moving will independently move points again.
2. These two layers are referencing the same dataset so they are aliasing one another, e.g. you don't actually have two points in the database but you have two layers rendering the same point with different symbology on the map.  You can detect this case by examining the "Source" page of the layers' property sheets.  If this is the case you can't independently move these points while the layers are referencing the same feature in the database.The correct course of action depends on what you are trying to model (are these points supposed to be independent etc).
