I am new to ArcGIS 10 and am having trouble in using the new editing tool and snapping interface they have now. I cannot find the Task and Target options that allow me to choose Modify feature and define which layer I need to edit (and toggle between layers). Also, I could not find the Trace tool that used to be in ArcGIS 9.x versions that could be
useful for redrawing curvy boundaries. There seems to be a problem with Sanapping because
now there is a small toolbar that gives me only the options (End, Vertex,
Point, Edge, Tangent, etc) but without reference as to which layer I want
to snap to. Yet I can not snap properly to the vertex I want. Previously the cursor
would be snapped to the point I was hovering over within a reasonable proximity (defined by the tolerance). Now it seems that that sometimes does not happen even if I zoom in close enough. This of course results in problems since sometimes I got the snapping right, sometimes not.
Has anybody experienced similar problems and if so how did you resolve them? I would appreciate the information very much.
Thanks

You can use the "classic" snapping as well as editing environment in version 10. Look at the Editing Options dialog box.
