Our user tried just working with trace and topology tool but the zipper tool works best for what he has to do. Mainly readjusting 14 feature class boundaries along a parcel line that gets "adjusted" by the county (which happens a lot). The zipper tool allowed him to "zip" all 14 layers to a new line features (usually with lots of vertices).
One word of caution, if you have parametric curves, it will not snap to them properly. My solution is to convert your parcels into Shape and re-import them back as GBD/SDE etc...
This is an old thread but this was the only place I found the zippertask for 10.x and had no problems registering the tool and adding it to ArcMap 10 SP3.
Make sure to put the command in quotes because some directory names might contain spaces. Here is an example: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\ArcGIS\bin\EsriRegAsm.exe" "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\custom\ZipperPrj_Net.dll"
Sure wish this tool was in the resource center or better yet built into the baseline ArcGIS Desktop product... How many years has it been a "sample" but it's one of the only ways to bring polygon's together in ArcGIS?
You can find the zipper tool for 10.x at ArcGIS.com
This functionality has been included in ArcGIS 10.1, along with several other tools, to improve the experience of aligning features within and between layers.
Hey Sean, Downloaded the file, but there was NO "ReadMe.txt" in it... Any chance that the .Net solution could be posted instead of the final install package??? I'm code curious! Always wanting to look at code! 😄
