Hi Donald,

When you say "I broke the polyline command four times around the boundary",
what exactly did you do ?

It seems you have digitized a multiple segmented polyline (or maybe even a
collection) object, i.e. one object (record) embedding several seperate
graphical polyline entities.

You probably have to break this object into its simple components first.
Then you can combine them into a single (non-multiple) polyline, and convert
that to a region.

Subject: MI-L Traced polylines


Hi all,

I have a table of all the townships in allegheny county.  I traced
around the outside of the townships to create a table of just the county
outline.  I had the zoom set close enough to see the boundaries well, had
"snap" turned on, and autotraced the nodes of the townships.  I broke the
polyline command four times around the boundary.  So I have a boundary of 5
polylines that I believe are snapped together.
The table displays fine but when I choose to select "all" only one
polyline is selected and when I open the table browser there is only one
record.  There should be five.  I can select the other records individually.
But even then the browser still only shows one unselected record.  I need to
convert this table to a region and it returns four odd shaped regions.
How can I find out if all the polylines are snapped?  There seems to
be a limit to how close I can zoom in to see the intersections.  I tried the
snap/thin option on the polylines with the same results.

TIA
