Additional Information

Many arrow symbols in the ArcGIS 2D style have a cut geometric effect applied to the stroke. This effect cuts off a portion of the symbol so it does not extend to the full geometry of the feature. As a result, it looks like there is a gap when there is none. If the cut effect is removed, or the feature is symbolized with a simple solid line, no gap is observed.

Workaround

In ArcGIS Pro:

  1. Right-click on a file geodatabase > New > Feature Dataset.
  2. Add the shapefile to the feature dataset as a feature class.
  3. Right-click on the feature dataset > New > Topology.
  4. In the Create Topology Wizard, under the Define tab, ensure the feature class is checked under Feature Classes. Click Next.
  5. In the Add Rules tab, specify the following.
    1. For Feature Class 1 choose the layer.
    2. For Rule, choose 'Must Not Have Pseuo-Nodes (Line)'.
    3. Click Next.
    4. Click Finish.
  6. In the Catalog pane, right-click on the topology and choose 'Validate'.
  7. Add the topology to the map.
  8. In the Edit tab, in the Manage Edits group, ensure the topology is selected from the drop-down.
  9. Click Error Inspector and notice how it shows an error where the two line segments are connected.
  10. Select the error in the Error Inspector window. On the right side of this window, click Fix > Merge > Merge.
  11. The features are merged with no gap.
