Update geometry(polygon) of shape file based on a point layer

Question

I have two shape files.

1. Polygon shape file
2. Point file contains some points.

Now i want to delete all the vertex of polygon shape file which are available in point file.

I am using ArcGIS(ArcEditor) platform.

Any ideas.

Answer 1

via GeoWizards

Polygon To Point (with Vertices option)

combine (merge) both point files

select duplicate points - delete them.

rebuild polygons with Point To Polygon

Advantage is the attributes from the original polygon are preserved through the new point file

Answer 2

Here's my initial thinking (I'm not sure to what extent ArcGIS can help with tools to do these steps):

1. Create a point layer from the polygon vertices, with additional fields to track polygon and vertex order.
2. Select from the above layer using the original point layer, and then delete those vertices.
3. Recreate the new polygon layer.

Answer 3

Thanks for all those who has participated in this thread For those who are interested in the solution, i am using Manifold to do this. Here is thread http://www.georeference.org/forum/t108320#108357 An other reason for me start working in manifold.

Answer 4

This is result of procedure you have mentioned via GeoWizard.

Till now i have not deleted any point, just converted polygons to point and then point to polygons.
