Splitting a line feature

Polygons are not the only type of feature you may need to split. Lines often need to be split as you add other features to the same layer to maintain the correct connections. Lines often form a network used to travel across, such as roads, railroads, sidewalks, and trails. Travel is not limited to transportation. Utilities also use linear features to move water, sewer, electricity, and communications from one point to another. Other systems such as emergency dispatch systems rely on linear data from GIS as well. So, it is extremely important that we maintain these layers correctly.

As mentioned earlier, ArcGIS Pro 2.0 and earlier versions do not currently support geometric networks that are commonly used by utilities. If you have the Network Analyst extension, ArcGIS Pro will allow you to use, create, and maintain a Network Dataset. Esri has indicated that support for geometric networks will not be added in a future release of ArcGIS Pro. In ArcGIS Pro 2.1, they added...
