| Editing Tools |
The Editing tools allow you to apply bulk editing to all (or selected) features in a feature class.
Editing tools consist of a set of tools, and it will be explained by explaining all the tools as follows:
Conflation Toolset:
To blend the features of layers with another layer according to the goal and by describing each tool we can understand how the tool works.
Align Features
Identifies inconsistent portions of the input features against target features within a search distance and aligns them with the target features.
Calculate Transformation Errors
Calculates residue errors and root mean square error (RMSE) based on the coordinates of the input links between known control points to be used for spatial data transformation.
Edgematch Features
Modifies input line features by spatially adjusting their shapes, guided by the specified edgematch links, so they become connected with the lines in the adjacent dataset.
Generate Edgematch Links
Finds matching but disconnected line features along the edges of the source data's area and its adjacent data's area, and generates edgematch links from the source lines to the matched adjacent lines.
Generate Rubbersheet Links
Finds where the source line features spatially match the target line features and generates lines representing links from source locations to corresponding target locations for rubbersheeting.
Rubbersheet Features
Modifies input features by spatially adjusting them through rubbersheeting, using the specified rubbersheet links, so they are better aligned with the intended target features.
Split Line By Match
Splits input features based on matching relationships to obtain better corresponding line segmentation.
When dealing with line features in two different data sets—for example, city roads and state roads—having features in 1:1 rather than many-to-many (m:n) matching relationships will aid conflation tasks, such as attribute transfer from one source to the other. This tool is intended to help turn the m:n matches into more 1:1 matches.
The input features and the matched features must be prematched by one of the feature matching based conflation tools, such as Detect Feature Changes, with a match table produced. The matching relationships recorded in the match table are between source and target features.
For each match group, the tool splits the input features based on the node conditions in the matched features. A node can be a dangle end of a line, a pseudo node between two lines, or a junction of multiple lines.
For example, a 1:2 matched group means one source feature matched two target features, and the two target features are joined at a pseudo node. The tool will split the input line at a location near the target pseudo node. This is to improve the correspondences between the source and target lines so the next round of feature matching will produce more 1:1 matches for conflation needs.
Transfer Attributes
Finds where the source line features spatially match the target line features and transfers specified attributes from source features to matched target features.
Attribute transfer is typically used to copy attributes from features in one dataset to corresponding features in another dataset. For example, it can be used to transfer the names of road features from a previously digitized and maintained dataset to features in a new dataset that are newly collected and more accurate. The two datasets are usually referred to as source features and target features. This tool finds corresponding source and target line features within the specified search distance and transfers the specified attributes from source lines to target lines.
Transform Features
Converts the coordinates of input features from one location to another through scaling, shifting, and rotating based on the transformation links between known corresponding control points.
Editing Tools:
Editing tools Edit features without using Start Editing in the Editing toolbar.
Densify
Adds vertices along line or polygon features. Also replaces curve segments (Bezier, circular arcs, and elliptical arcs) with line segments.
Erase Point
Deletes points from the input that are either inside or outside the Remove Features, depending on the Operation Type.
Extend Line
This tool extends line segments to the first intersecting feature within a specified distance. If no intersecting feature is within the specified distance, the line segment will not be extended. Tool use is intended for quality control tasks such as cleaning up topology errors in features that were digitized without having set proper snapping environments.
Flip Line
Reverses the from-to direction of line features.
You can view the orientation of line features by symbolizing line features with arrowheads.
Generalize
Simplifies the input features using a specified maximum offset tolerance. The output features will contain a subset of the original input vertices.
Snap
Moves points or vertices to coincide exactly with the vertices, edges, or end points of other features. Snapping rules can be specified to control whether the input vertices are snapped to the nearest vertex, edge, or endpoint within a specified distance.
Trim Line
Removes portions of a line that extend a specified distance past a line intersection (dangles). Any line that does not touch another line at both endpoints can be trimmed, but only the portion of the line that extends past the intersection by the specified distance will be removed.
Tool use is intended for quality control tasks such as cleaning up topology errors in features that were digitized without having set proper snapping environments.

In the same way, as described through this site. Watch the video first, then you can search for any tool by writing its name in the search, the language of the video is Arabic, but English subtitles and any language in the world are available. Good luck and God bless you.
