topic Polygon reshaping itself in Data Management Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/polygon-reshaping-itself/m-p/194789#M11089 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I'm having an issue with Arcmap. I have created a new blank shapefile, and am drawing a polygon using the "construction tools" in the editing window. I created the new shapefile, clicked start editing, clicked polygon, and then when I draw the shape I want (I am tracing another layer underneath), the polygon distorts and kind of averages out a few of the areas when I click "finish sketch." I want the polygon to follow the shape I draw exactly, and not cut off extremities. I am not very experienced so I am probably making a simple mistake, any help is appreciated, thanks.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 17 Sep 2013 16:06:55 GMT dl 2013-09-17T16:06:55Z Polygon reshaping itself https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/polygon-reshaping-itself/m-p/194789#M11089 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I'm having an issue with Arcmap.
