You can use this command to combine spatially connected entities. For
example, you can use a line and an arc to update the geometry of a single
feature (resulting in one linestring or polyline). If the data store of a feature
does not support curves, this command transforms the curves into line
segments.
For polygons, this command allows you to work on the boundary geometry
instead of the polygon itself.
NOTE This functionality is for geospatial features only. There is no equivalent for
drawing objects.

To update feature geometry
1 Right-click the feature you want to merge with a drawing object. Click
Update Feature From Geometry.
2 When prompted, select the drawing object to merge. Press Enter.
3 When prompted to erase the drawing object, do one of the following:
■ Click Yes to erase the original drawing object.
■ Click No to keep the drawing object in the drawing.
Keep the object if you plan to use it to create other features. You can
store drawing objects on an AutoCAD layer and turn off visibility of
the layer.
4 Check in the edited feature.
