I actually did reference that particular page but that is when I ran into the issues. It is inconsistent at best and I kept getting an error that the line couldn't be split. In fact, just now, when I tried it again on a polygon feature and click the construction tool, Pro seems to freeze for a half second and then nothing happens at all. Not even the warning I was getting yesterday (not sure what is different today). Eventually, after clicking multiple times I am able to get the error again.
Split failed. New geometry must intersect polylines and intersect polygons in two more more places.
That doesn't make sense because what I was trying to do was create a whole in a polygon. I wouldn't want to intersect the sides of the polygon and arguably by drawing my "hole" using the sketch tool over the polygon, I am most certainly intersecting it.
Step 7 also says: Create a closed splitting line that represents the hole in the feature using the tools on the construction toolbar.
As you create the splitting line, the x, and y, coordinates appear in the vertices table.
I see no vertices table in Pro unless it means the geometry under the attributes tab. That table only shows the vertices of the existing feature and sadly cannot be edited either but that's another issue.
I thought maybe Clip was actually what I wanted but as I read through it, I'm not sure of the point of that tool as it doesn't do what I would expect it to do.
