spitting a polgyon to an exact size

I have a 6-acrea polygon, in ArcGIS 10, and would like to make 2 3-acre polygons

If you have a Parcel Fabric, this could be an option:

Creating new parcels using divide by area

By proportional area

Specify the number of parts or parcels to create in the Number of parts text box. Parcels are proportioned into equal areas to subdivide the entire parcel. There is no remainder parcel.

Do you want to do it manually once or automate the process for many different polygons? I'm guessing the polygons are not symmetrical...

IanMurray

Depending on the shape and dimensions, this could be a very easy or a difficult task. Could you give a little more detail about what you are wanting to do or possible give a screenshot of your polygon?

KenLucas

Wow, pretty fast response. No, I don't have so many that I need to automate the process. I can do it manually.

KenLucas

Ian, thanks for the prompt response and interest in helping me. I want to split the selected 6.00 ac poly into 2, each of exactly 3.0 acres. I don't have many to do, so I don't need to automate. I'm using an advanced level license.

I'm creating water rights maps for the Churchill County, Nv area.

sorry, I didn't add text to that screen capture reply. Yes, you're correct the polys are not symmetrical; the splits may need to happen for just an unequal part of the poly. The selected poly in the screen capture is 6.00 acres. I need to manually split it into 2- 3.0 acre polys.

Sorry, nothing comes to mind immediately, did a little searching though. I'm curious, what is the purpose of splitting it 50/50 (not that it necessarily relates to answering your question and of course you don't have to explain if you don't want to - simply curious that's all)

Do you think this would work? Is that parcel data, and do you already use parcel fabric?

Maybe something here?

Chris,

I didn't think of using parcel editor. these polys are not in a

parcel fabric, but I'll try to use the parcel editor toolbar
