Unable to construct polygons from lines in ArcGIS 10

In Arc 9.3 was was able to construct polygons after changing my parcels line work by merging my polygons and selecting the lines and contruct features. I have not been able to figure how to do this in Arc 10 and have hunted for answers all over the web. I am looking for any help on this on as I am stuck.

Try the method I outlined here:
http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/6786-polyline-to-polygon
Replies to that thread indicate it works in 10 as well as 9.3.

Or for a more complex method for numerous polylines from different feature classes to numerous polygons see my post in:

I use it routinely in ArcView 9.3 to make polygons from mazes of polylines in several feature classes for geological maps.

Hi gundekjg,
Another way to do this is to bring in your Topology toolbar, select the lines that you want to create an area featrue from, and click on 'Construct Polygons'.

Hope this may also help.
