We often use integer elements to modify the shape of elements, but sometimes we change the shape and position of the entire element and keep the attributes unchanged , then we have to consider the " Replace Geometry " tool in the advanced editor .
01 Replacement geometry principle
1. The "Replace Geometry" tool can create completely new shapes for features. One of the most common workflows for Replace Geometry is when you have features that should align to adjacent features. In some cases, the shape of a feature differs significantly from the shape of other features that should share a boundary. In these cases, especially when the system considers the feature to be less accurate than surrounding features, it is often easiest to recapture the feature's geometry rather than modify its existing shape.
2. To use "Replace Geometry", you need to select a point, a line or a surface. When you click the Replace Geometry tool, the original feature is still selected, but it is shown transparently so you can see its current location. You can then completely replace the shape of an existing feature with the new shape. To draw its new shape, you snap to or trace along other features, including the original geometry of the feature being modified. All feature attributes are preserved; only the feature shape is updated.
Note:
Replace Geometry is intended for situations where the overall shape of a feature needs to be replaced. If you only need to modify a portion of the shape , use the Reshape Features tool.
