polygon one inside the other and solid hatch between them

AvivitLevy

ArcGIS Pro,

I need to create in the ArcgGis a horizontal plan, like 2 polygons one inside the other and between them solid hatch, and inside the internal polygon it's a 'hole', in the total it looks like a 'donut'  - I attached a picture,

Which is the best way to do it without using geoprocessing tools?  because I need to draw different shapes- I would like to use the tools from the Edit tab.

I can create one polygon with a solid hatch with 'Donut' effect in the Symbology but it applies to all of the layer, and each polygon not exactly with the same width.

Thanks in advance,

Avivit

Oh, you're right! The nice "regular polygon" editing tools don't play well with multiple parts.

Might I also suggest a Group Template? Go to Manage Templates, select your standard template, then New → Group Template

Under Builders, click Add and specify that it's a buffer, then specify your distance.

 

Now select your new group template. You should have the option of using the rectangle tool, and upon finishing your rectangle, you'll instantly have the negative-buffered shape as well.

My scratch layer doesn't have any attributes in it, but you could easily configure the group template to create the two polygons as having different attributes (inner vs outer), or even belonging to entirely different layers.
