Error when reshaping a polygon

[TimLangner]

_{Hi there}

I was reshaping a polygon held in our 9.2 ArcSDE geodatabase using ArcMap 10.0sp4. Once I finalised it I got the error message:
The Reshape task could not be completed.
All geometries involved in this operation must have the same spatial reference.

Does anyone know why I could get such a message? If I selected the layer to digitse then surely it should digitise with the same spatial reference as that layer. I am tracing over existing lines.

Kind regards

I have now resolved the problem now. The MXD I was working from did not have it's spatial reference defined and ArcMap didn't like it.

Of course ArcMap being as helpful as it often is, allowed me to trace a complicated feature and only then throw up an error message once I had finished my sketch. On top of that it then deleted my sketch so I had to start all over again. Just one of the ways ArcMap tries to be helpful but fails.

Kind regards
