After a little more testing- this seems to just be happening when using the Reshape tool. When creating a new feature, the tool is retained. When using other Modify Feature functions that use the sketch tools such as Split, Continue Feature, the active tool is retained after finish. Seems to only be happening during Reshape. I guess I'll submit a bug.</P> Wed, 07 May 2025 21:57:43 GMT AaronWorthley1 2025-05-07T21:57:43Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-retain-sketch-tool-after-completing-edit/m-p/1612625#M95609 <P>(edited after more testing) Pulling my hair out....after updating to 3.4 the edit sketch tool is no longer retained after finishing a sketch when using the Modify Features: Reshape tool. In the prior versions if editing with a sketch tool other than the default "Line" tool, the selected tool was retained after finishing a reshape sketch.</P><P>Now, after completing a sketch the tool changes to the default "Line" tool. This is terrible if you are trying to do multiple reshape edits with the same tool (very common). I figured there must be some setting where this can be changed, but I can't find it. Any ideas or alternatives to keep the active edit sketch tool in 3.4 or is this another example of long standing functionality broken with an update?</P> Wed, 07 May 2025 22:02:38 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-retain-sketch-tool-after-completing-edit/m-p/1612625#M95609 AaronWorthley1 2025-05-07T22:02:38Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-retain-sketch-tool-after-completing-edit/m-p/1612632#M95610 <P>are you saving between edits?</P><P><A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/editing-options.htm" target="_blank">Project and application options for editing—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation</A></P><P><EM>Deactivate an active editing tool when saving or discarding</EM></P><P><EM>Automatically deactivates the active editing tool and runs the Explore tool Explore Tool when edits are saved or discarded.</EM></P> Wed, 07 May 2025 21:49:30 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-retain-sketch-tool-after-completing-edit/m-p/1612632#M95610 DanPatterson 2025-05-07T21:49:30Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-retain-sketch-tool-after-completing-edit/m-p/1612634#M95611 <P>No, just finishing the sketch, not saving.
