Good Morning, I have a feature class in SDE on SQL server 2008r2.  This feature class depicts subdivisions in our city.  We have one subdivision that is very old and has since been re-subdivided.  Yesterday I added the very old subdivision and it is obscuring the newer ones.  Please see the attachment.

Does anyone have any tips, trick, or another method that works to accomplish this task? ... View more
