The Update Feature Shape Using Feature tool allows you to update or replace an existing selected feature from the target database with another selected feature from the scratch database matching the same data type.

   The Manage Features and Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes windows automatically appear when you start an edit session using the Production Start Editing tool.

7. Choose the workspace that contains the target feature class as your editing workspace.
8. Ensure that the feature class and/or subtype you want to use is selected on the Create tab of the Manage Features window.

   This layer must have the same geometry as the selected feature builder geometry or geometries.

9. Select a single feature builder geometry and a single target feature to be updated with the geometry from the selected scratch feature.

    The geometry is updated to the feature in the scratch database.
