Merge Areas Into

Merge two or more areas into a single area. The merged area inherits the acronym, attributes, and feature object ID of the superselected area and consists of the combined geometry of all selected areas.

• The areas must share at least one common boundary.

• Areas cannot overlap.

If all selected areas cannot be merged, no areas are merged.
