I have been using the trace tool in ArcEditor for over 4 years, all the sudden it does not want to work for me! I am in ArcMap 10, this has never happened to me. I reset my registry, then I reinstalled and all the while I still get the error. I do not get the error in a shapefile, another geodatabase or anything. I just tested it and found out it does not happen in another MXD, however, if I copy the MXD I still get the problem. The problem is all my complicated utility mapping settings are in this MXD, is there a way to fix this problem so I do not have to make a new MXD and/or save the new editing templates?
