Split tool in ArcGIS Pro doesn't split all selected polygons

ChristopherJStrong — Tue, 08 Aug 2023 18:23:06 GMT

Hello, I'm using ArcGIS Pro 3.1, and it doesn't appear that the Split tool is working across multiple selected polygons.

For example, I have multiple coincident polygons that I'm trying to divide using the Split tool. They are all selected, and I draw the split line bisecting all of them. The tool only divides the first polygon encountered, and ignores the following.

In ArcMap, this tool could divide multiple polygons at a time.

Is this a bug? Am I missing something simple?

Below, Drawing a line to split multiple selected polygons (Allow splitting without a selection is unchecked)

The Result:

The result when attempting the same process with Allow splitting without selection checked. (This was done after the first test, hence the two sets of split polygons).

Just tested this in 2.9.3 and 3.1.2 and both are splitting all the selected polygons as expected.

Hmm, strange. I just ran an update on Pro, and seems to be working for me as expected now. Scratching my head over here - maybe I missed something the first time around. Thanks for checking!

Well this stinks. I’m running in to the exact same issue.

However, I’m already up to date with 3.1.2. I even repaired the installation to no avail. Fixing this would save me mountains of time.

I think I might have figured this one out for me. It was a projection issue. The map and the layer weren’t in the same coordinate system. Now that they are I am able to cut multiple polygons again.

This worked for me (3.1.3). FFS. Thank you.
