Editing tool: draw a single line to merge two or adjacent polygons. Still around in ArcMap or Pro?

Question

I vaguely remember a tool that would allow you to draw a line from one polygon to an adjacent polygon to merge them.  Then the polygon at the end of the line would be merged with the polygon at the start of the line.  The resulting merged polygon would receive the attribute of the polygon at the start of the drawn line.  Does anyone else remember that tool?  Was that an ArcView 3.2 tool?  Is there an equivalent in Pro or ArcMap?

Hi A Zendal

Did you ever find a solution to this?

Yep, that'd definitely be the fastest way to do it.  But I need to review all of these polygons to make sure I'm merging them into the correct target polygon.

too bad that there isn't a common attribute between the polygons you wanted to merge, then you could do them all at once using Dissolve
