Merging non-contiguous polygon features into a single feature

ElliottD — Fri, 16 Aug 2024 06:23:35 GMT

I want to create multiple, non-contiguous polygon features in an existing feature layer and merge them into a single feature. I see I can create and draw a new feature one at a time, but cannot draw multiple, non-contiguous polygons for one feature I looked into the dissolve tool, but it seems that will work only if the polygon features share common boundaries. Is there a way to merge non-contiguous polygons into one feature in Map Viewer?

Hey @ElliottD take a look at the new ArcGIS Web Editor, it will allow you to do this:

Worked for me,

hi @ElliottD, @Kbray_gis_ is correct, ArcGIS Web Editor launched in June of 2024 and one of the exciting features to come along with it is merging features! See our doc here: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/web-editor/latest/create-and-edit/merge-features.htm or visit our community page for more info https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-web-editor/ct-p/arcgis-web-editor
