Now I'm editing one, let's call it MyPolygons, and I want to set it to snap to the vertices of MyPolygons. But the Snapping Options dialog won't list MyPolygons. What's wrong here?? </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The weird thing is: I've got another layer in my TOC called Boundaries that also points to MyPolygons as its data source. I can snap to Boundaries. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Copying MyPolygons to a new mxd won't help the situation.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>MyPolygons was symbolized using a .lyr-file whose source I had to adjust to make it work again. Could that be part of the problem?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I'm on ArcView 9.3 an Windows XP.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 07 Mar 2012 10:21:49 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/snapping-can-t-select-one-layer/m-p/186987#M10539 KatharinaDubach 2012-03-07T10:21:49Z Re: Snapping: Can't select one layer https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/snapping-can-t-select-one-layer/m-p/186988#M10540 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>You can try exporting the shapefile out to a feature class in a geodatabase and see if the new feature class can be snapped at all.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 07 Mar 2012 11:03:31 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/snapping-can-t-select-one-layer/m-p/186988#M10540 SisiYan 2012-03-07T11:03:31Z Re: Snapping: Can't select one layer https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/snapping-can-t-select-one-layer/m-p/186989#M10541 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>If I add the shapefile directly to ArcMap (no symbology applied), I can snap to it.
