Modifying topology edges by drawing a sketch

With the Production Reshape Topology Edge tool, you can create a new shape for the topological element, similar to the Production Reshape Selected Geometry tool. For instance, if your topology includes parcel boundaries, you can reshape a shared edge.

Example of a topology edge that has been reshaped
