Jun 11, 2019 at 8:14 comment added Satya @SonofaBeach My method is something like this when using Create Polygons: 1. select all surrounding lines 2. create polygons. 3. copy into Dummy layer. 4. Pick the polygon i need from the dummy layer and paste into the layer I want.... I would ideally want to skip the first step, cause i need to select atleast four lines for each feature. Instead if i have a Tool which can automatically get the surrounding lines and create the polygon, that would be time saving
Jun 11, 2019 at 8:08 comment added Satya @SonofaBeach Yes. I did a similar thing. I created a dummy layer and kept only the one I need. I deleted all others at once. True. It does save a lot of time for large features. But many tiny features, its is still time consuming.
Jun 11, 2019 at 7:50 comment added Satya @user30184 That is exactly what I am looking for. Is there anyway we can do this in arcmap?

Jun 11, 2019 at 7:22 comment added Satya As I am doing this on a huge database, every minute i can save would help out a lot
Jun 11, 2019 at 7:20 comment added Satya @MichaelStimson Yes. This is also something i have tried and am using mostly for this project. There is problem with this too... Some uneccesary lines are cutting the lines where I dont need that happening. So i am having to Check everything to see if the feature is whole or if it is divided in the middle, and have to merge them together. This is something I am following right now. It would help a lot if there is something simpler and faster
Jun 11, 2019 at 7:16 comment added Satya @PolyGeo Trace tool works out great. But there are a lot of features to be done this way, and in the long run is very less productive. Also there are some features which are too long to be traced, and take up atleast a whole minute for one feature.
Jun 11, 2019 at 7:15 comment added Satya @SonofaBeach Yes I could try this way, But in certain scenarios, this becomes too much of a tedious task as, the features might not be as small as I have shown in the picture and This is causing the unecessay polygons to increse, and i would have to go through a lot of area to check for these unecessary polygons. I created a Dummy layer as a intermidiate layer to avoid this, but i was hoping if there was a simpler solution.
Jun 11, 2019 at 4:39 comment added Michael Stimson Do you have an advanced license? If so you can use Feature to Polygon on your 3 datasets resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//… to generate polygons where the features are closed then copy/paste/merge the ones you want into your edit layer. You can omit the polygons that already exist using Select by Location with a buffer of a negative small number (depends on your data) then switch selection and create a layer from selected features - not deleting the matching ones just in case you want them later.
Jun 11, 2019 at 4:21 comment added PolyGeo Use the Trace tool to digitize your polygon.
