What is the purpose of Reshape?

To toggle in and out of Reshape mode. Use reshape to edit regions, polylines, lines, and points by moving, adding, and deleting nodes that define line segments. You can also copy and paste selected nodes to create new points, lines, and polylines.

The Reshape command is very useful when you are creating sales territories or other merged boundaries. For example, you are merging ZIP Code boundaries to create school districts. Some ZIP Code boundaries fall into more than one school district. Use the Reshape command to reshape the school district to incorporate a section of the ZIP Code boundary.
