I'm having an issue with Arcmap. I have created a new blank shapefile, and am drawing a polygon using the "construction tools" in the editing window. I created the new shapefile, clicked start editing, clicked polygon, and then when I draw the shape I want (I am tracing another layer underneath), the polygon distorts and kind of averages out a few of the areas when I click "finish sketch." I want the polygon to follow the shape I draw exactly, and not cut off extremities. I am not very experienced so I am probably making a simple mistake, any help is appreciated, thanks.
Okay, an analyst helped me and here was the solution: I was working in a geographic coordinate system which spanned too large an area for the high level of detail I was working at. We re-projected into an NAD coordinate system close to my area and it works fine now. Thanks for the help, much appreciated.
