Without editing, converting, creating more data or using colour fill is it possible to display the boundaries of adjacent polygons with different coloured lines based on an attribute by using a display offset or something like that i.e.

If colour fill was to be used:

 If colour fill were to be used.

The target condition although was done using graphics and fudging:

Seems like a simple enough request, hope someone has a solution.

I think you need Representation.

create all layers in Geodatabase and make Representation.

Thanks Abdullah, coincidentally I discovered representation last week but no luck. This morning I read more about it and persevered and have come up with a solution so thanks anyway.

Representation its good stuff but I wonder how a geodatabase performs across a WAN when loaded up with it.

Can you share your solution for others who may have the same need/issue?

From my experience, accessing any type of geodatabase (enterprise, file, personal) over the WAN is a less-than-good idea.  At a minimum, the performance suffers, and in certain situations I have seen it lead to data corruption.

I can share it but how do I do that. Do you mean provide more detail than the discussion has.

I may have misread your earlier comment.  I thought you found a solution that didn't involve representations, but if that isn't the case, my mistake.

Hi just hoping you can answer this query.

I now have a feature class with several representations but when I add it to Arcmap it defaults to the first representation I created. Is it possible to change the default representation.

Regards

Andrew
