@MikeSmith8 try making the Z values of the overlapping endpoints a bit different. If they are the same, the Merge tool will output a singlepart feature. If they differ, it will output a multipart feature. You can also accomplish this with differing M values if your lines are M-enabled. It also sounds like your trails could be managed using linear referencing, that way you can have a table of "surface types" that can produce a layer based on the surface type at measured intervals. If you did that, you could then produce the layer whenever you need it by running this tool: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/linear-referencing/make-route-event-layer.htm   ...

Hi @jbcypreste  The Construct Polygons tool creates a polygon feature for each closed boundary formed by selected lines and/or polygon features (both can be inputs). A common use case: you have a closed loop of lines that you want to convert into a polygon. I wouldn't recommend Construct Polygons as an alternative to Paste Special. ... View more

Good call @RTPL_AU , I agree Align/Distribute commands should work while projecting on the fly. That is a valid use case. Thanks for pointing that out. ... View more

FYI @RTPL_AU you can align and distribute features with the Move tool (more info).   ... View more

To prevent editing geometry while still allowing attribute edits you can author an Attribute Rule as outlined in the following blog article: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/data-management/prevent-geometry-updates-allow-attribute-updates-on-features-with-attribute-rules/ ...

That shouldn't prevent edits from being made, even though it's a best practice to edit in the same coordinate system as the data. ... View more

@RyGuy There is one outstanding bug that I'm aware of: https://support.esri.com/en-us/bug/when-using-the-split-tool-from-the-modify-features-pane-bug-000172550 If you are experiencing it, I assume two things to be true: The data is projected on the fly while editing https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/introduction-to-projection-on-the-fly.htm The sketch is being snapped to an existing vertex while splitting (since that bug doesn't reproduce unless you snap to a vertex). My suggestions: Contact Esri Technical Support to have your case attached to the defect to follow it (or investigate it as a new defect if your scenario is different). Until it is fixed, try to keep the map in the same coordinate system as the layers you are editing. I know this isn't always easy to do, but it is considered a best practice. ... View more

@EditorCarbonNet The Copy Parallel tool will create parallel lines using geodetic distances as long as the map uses a geographic coordinate system such as WGS 1984:   ... View more

This is already possible by setting one of these filters in Arrange Templates found at the top left of the Create Features pane: So now when you select a layer in Contents pane, only the templates for that layer display in Create. ... View more
