Summary
Instructions provided describe the procedure for finding and deleting dangling arcs from a polygon layer.
Procedure
- Create an empty checked-out coverage from the ArcStorm layer containing the dangles.
Arcedit: edit canada.nova.parcel polygon
Arcedit: show number selected

Arcedit: checkout emptycov
Executing CHECKOUT request...
Checked out 0 features into E:\EMPTYCOV with ID 21
- Display the ArcStorm layer as a back coverage and add a polygon to the empty checkout coverage which surrounds the dangling arc.

Arcedit: save
The ArcStorm layer (in green) is the back coverage. The new polygon (in yellow) is added to the empty check out coverage and must completely encircle the dangling arc.
- Check the new polygon feature in, and immediately select the same feature and check it out again. The dangling arc will be checked out with the surrounding polygon.
