I've added a new shapefile, and it matches the projection of the rest of my layers (UTM 2N NAD83). However whenever I draw a polygon around the island, as soon as I click finish, the shape changes into a triangle or rectangle. How do I stop it from automatically becoming a regular shape? (My island is shaped like a round blob with lots of ins and outs)</P> Thu, 15 Apr 2021 05:08:54 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/polygons-changing-shape-automatically/m-p/1047414#M39751 LGritsavage 2021-04-15T05:08:54Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/polygons-changing-shape-automatically/m-p/1047453#M39758 <P>make sure you are creating polygons and not regular shapes</P><P><A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/create-polygon-features.htm" target="_blank">Create polygon features—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation</A></P><P>There are only so many drawing tools available sounds like you are creating regular shapes</P><P><A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/create-squares-and-rectangles.htm" target="_blank">Create squares and rectangles—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation</A></P> Thu, 15 Apr 2021 08:53:05 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/polygons-changing-shape-automatically/m-p/1047453#M39758 DanPatterson 2021-04-15T08:53:05Z
