Thanks for this, I couldn't figure out why the editor tool bar was greyed out until I watched this!!

Thank God someone actually explains how to do this without skipping half the steps.

MAN SUCH A SWEET VOICE SHE HAS.....ITS LIKE MELTING ME.....I LOVE IT

[@normangarcia2603]

Thank you! Of late, I'm not mapping as often as I used to and my old mind appreciates this tutorial. All the best!

This has been the best video on how to draw polygons! As someone that needed a quick refresher this was great! Thanks.

[@christoferrodriguez7147]

THANK YOU! I watched at least 5 other videos and they werent what I needed - but your video was spot on! Easy to follow along (with some pausing in between steps) but this was exactly what I needed! THANK YOU!

Thanks a lot from a bloody beginner. This video was very helpful. Tried googling this but ended at the ArcGIS help pages for creating shapes which didn't explain anything about creating shapes.

[@antoniojay4161]

Well explained. Oustanding. I am quite willing to recommend your tutorial to my students.

[@EpicVibes2015]

Love your tutorial, very clear

[@carolynbrown3376]

Any idea what i'm doing wrong? I followed all your steps but when I click save edits my polygon disappears :(

[@peterbell6557]

Excellent tutorial, thankyou.

terima kasih bu sangat membantu

Great video! I was wondering if there is a way to calculate polygon width and lenght?

[@kimberlymendezmendez9603]

I don't know why my new shapefile stays at the bottom, even though in the ToC it shows that it is the top layer.
Also, when I'm tracing the polygon, it doesn't show the vertices that I'm putting on (i.e. when I repeat your steps, the interface of what I'm working on doesn't look exactly like yours).

[@herbertchang5051]

Great! Useful instructions.

[@heritic1hero]

Sweet! I really need a resource that showed someone using one of Arc's default basemaps. I thought one of my issues was with the basemap I was using. This really cleared it up.
I haven't attempted this in arcMap -- I ought to -- but, what about polygons with negative space inside? How would one go about doing that. Might be a good addition to the tutorial.

Thanks a lot!

Hi..Thanks for the video.
I have been wondering that all the arcgis tutorial they open up the folder connection and got some files. But mine got nothing. Is it your own files or you need to download them somewhere? I can get started because I dont have any file inside the folder connection.

[@rjahood2473]

how do you select the draw tool for argis pro? nothing happened if I right click the top empty bar

[@MyJeer]

Whenever I finish making a polygon, i hit the save edits and stop editing, then it disappears. Still shows up in my ToC, but no polygon shows up.

[@peterzambia]

Thanks...Your explanation is clear. Out of curiosity what data is there in a ZAMBIAN folder [4:26] hahahaha..

[@Abidkhan-xr7kx]

Will you provide me basemap please

[@henrikekberg1881]

This does not cover databases... :(

hi .help

[@ps.suicide4777]

I found a video that explains everything you did in 40 seconds. And by the end I don’t feel like I’ve been lectured.
