Intersect Polygons

Select all of the polygons to intersect. Click the Draw | Edit Boundaries | Intersect Polygons command or click the button to create a new polygon from two or more intersecting polygons. The polygon that intersects all selected polygons is created. The original polygons outside of the intersecting portion are removed. A single new polygon that contains only the shape of the intersecting polygons is created.

 

Note, if the selected polygons do not contain any overlapping sections, no change is made after selecting the command.

 

To use the Intersect Polygons command:

  1. Select all the polygons that define the intersecting polygon.

  2. Click the Draw | Edit Boundaries | Intersect Polygons command.

The Intersect Polygons command
