Looking for a line symbol

PhilFreeman — Thu, 13 Sep 2018 19:44:23 GMT

This symbol is used on maps to show that a polygon (forest stand, ownership, etc.) crosses a line (road, etc.). I want to use it on maps I create in ArcMap 10.6 but I can't find it as a line type in any of the styles have looked through. I want it to work like the line with an arrow on each end that you just draw with the Draw Toolbar. Can you point me to where I can find this? Many thanks.

You are going to convert your polygon to a polyline first?

No, the polygon would remain as is. Actually, somebody form the GIS stack exchange tutored me this evening on how to create new symbols. Maybe it is another sign of my getting old, but that symbol was used often on hand drawn maps, so I am surprised it is not already an option under the ESRI style.

Thanks.
