For your first, question...distinguish the polygon. Thanks for that! I spent far too long looking in the wrong the spot! I appreciate it! Can you upload a shapefile of your grid features? I don't know that I can... I check later though.

I am trying to get only the data within each block to view. Also, the grid seems jagged. I'd like to straighten things out and make it look more neat. Any suggestions?

Someone must have documented this somewhere in your organization. I'll have to ask later. You are right. It is something I have been meaning to do anyway because all of the data is unprojected. However, I was able to find the grid previously used and added that. Now the only problem is that the they are divided too many times. For example, square 7E is divided into 7E1-7E4. I would guess this is an easy fix. How can I can I get it to display as just 7E, 7G, 8E, etc? Again, that you for your help! I haven't worked with data driven pages since my first semester with GIS.

okay, I did that, and it moved the grid but now the grid is far too small. How can I make it the proper size? Thanks by the way, I appreciate the help!

It looks like the two data sets have a different coordinate system they're both undefined. the guy who worked before me had it all unprojected and somehow managed. Wait... can I just go into editing mode, select the grid and place it over the map?

For awhile, I was wondering what was going on. My grid was supposedly there someplace but I couldn't see where it was. Then after zooming out a lot, I saw the grid was way off some place else (see attachment). Why is this? How can I get it to go over the map like it is supposed to? The map is in the top right corner, and the grid is the little blue dot near the bottom left.

I need to print out a map, and it is supposed to be on about 20 some different pages or so. How do you set that up? I haven't had to do that for quite awhile.

All you have to do is right-click on your layer with a selection in the Table of Contents --> Choose Selection --> Create Layer from Selected Features. Thanks! It looks like I could have tried to export the data from the same place too but your post plus the website below (which I'm including just in case someone else sees this needing the info) I got it taken care of! To the person who replied afterward, that was about what I tried to to earlier. It was multiple lots though. Thanks to both of you for answering! http://rla.unc.edu/postanal/UserManual/NewLayerFromSelection.html

I need to shade various lots to show what district they are in. I initially tried selecting the districts to export them into a new shapefile (at which point applying the proper shading shouldn't be an issue) but because when I added the file I got this old error: "the following data sources you added are missing spatial reference infomration. This data can be drawn in ArcMap but cannot be projected" I can not export it. I tried going to properties but it would let me specify a coordinate system. Any idea what I can do to solve this? I'm in 9.3 by the way.

...it seems to happen when a shapefile is converted from CAD. I would select the wrong feature and delete it, after checking attributes and so forth. You may discover that there are a lot of duplicates throughout though. As a matter of fact, it was converted from CAD! At least now I know why it happens like that (thanks!). As you can see in this new attachment, the attributes are mostly the same except for the source field at the far right. Is there any reason that could be an issue? In version 10 you can just set your snapping up double click the feature (in editing mode of course) and move the vertex until it snaps with your double circle feature. Thankfully, we're supposed to be getting 10.0 sometime this summer.

Did you press F2 to finish your sketch in between screen shots? If not, give it a try. All that happened was that it went from the original one being selected to the new one being selected. Both were still there (as seen in the second screen shot). thanks for at least replying though!

I'm trying to movie a line but for some reason, once it moves, it leaves the old positioning for the line while also displaying where the line has been movied to. Attached are before and after screen shots. I tried moving the line up but as you can see, it is also still displayed where it was before. Any suggestions?

‎06-13-2011

And now, I tried doing as you suggested (using "modify feature") and the lines now look like they do in the screenshot in the attachment. Why do they show up like that? it makes it look like they've been duplicated instead of simply moved.

‎06-13-2011

Attachements are allowed right? Here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about. The thick green lines are supposed to be right over the double circles that are close to them.

I have a line that visually connects to a point. The other end is supposed to connect to the other point but it does not (I'm editing a project that was previously worked on by someone else). Is there some way to select the end of the line and shorten/lengthen/move it? I want to be able to shorten, extend and move it as if I were creating a new line feature that I have already established one end of. You know how the the other end has the line following behind it the cursor and shortens, extends and moves while staying connected to the already made other end of the line? I want to be able to edit an existing line in such a manner. If you need further clarification I understand; I feel like I might be clear enough.
