I think I understand your question. Try extending each states boundry to the
ten-mile buffer by autotracing (using the polygon tool) the one boundry for
a given state then jump across to digitize the buffer, closing the polygon
at your state boundry where you started. Convert the state boundry to
polygon and then select both the state and respective buffer zone polygons
and go to edit objects --> combine, resulting in a region w/ two polygons
displaying the original state boundry.

I have a table of State boundaries and I have created a 10 mile buffer
around the whole U.S. boundary. What I am trying to do is extend the State
boundaries out to the buffer. The problem is I convert the State file to
polylines and extend two new lines from the state boundary to the buffer and
then combine them. The result is when I convert back to polygon the original
state boundary has been delete from the boudaries.
Any help would be appreciated, NEAL
