Other ways to reshape a line

KaraG

Hi there, I have a polygon and I would like to edit a portion of it to align with a line. I know I can modify the feature with the reshape tool and trace along the desired line, but the line I need to change is HUGE and this would just be very tedious and time-consuming. I feel like there must be another way. 

I had thought I could use the clip tool, but it doesn't appear that I can clip a polygon with a line. I tried buffering the polygon and then using the split tool (in XTools Pro, not ArcPro), thinking it would just give me two polygons as a result and I could delete the undesired portion, but it did not work as expected -- some sections were split as I had hoped, but others were not, meaning I would still have to go in and trace those sections... unless there is another way that I'm just not thinking of. 

Thanks for any help.

@DanPatterson  @JenniferCadkin  Thank you both so much for your quick replies! I think the snap tool might be perfect for a first pass (waiting to get access to an advanced license to try it out) and then I could use the align edges tool if there are any gaps remaining (still a little time consuming but definitely faster than tracing everything!). Thanks again 🙂
