I found a work-around. I used the Split command in the Editor drop down box to specify my split distance from start for my line. Then I buffered the line, thus making it a polygon, and manually split off the rounded ends of the polygon using the snap to vertex.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 12 May 2011 17:02:29 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/split-polygon-line-at-specified-distance-from/m-p/683857#M38820 MathieuCain 2011-05-12T17:02:29Z
