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.

If the original features are part of a database, they are moved to the Deleted Features layer. They must be certified before they are permanently deleted.

If the original features are part of a stand-alone file, they are permanently deleted.
