Michael, something similar has happened to me.  The solution for my problem was to delete the spatial index for the feature class and built a new spatial index.  Make sure you first make a back-up copy of the feature class.

Subject: ArcMap Anomalies: The Mystery of the Missing Features in the Feature Class

 

Hey gang,

 

I’ve got a mystery that needs to be solved….

 

Every once and a while a feature goes missing from one of our feature classes. The timeline usually goes something like this:

 

 

-User A creates the Feature 1 in a feature class (this is a line feature class in a file geodatabase).

 

-User A manually splits Feature 1 into multiple segments making Feature 1, 2, 3… and saves edits and the MXD.

 

-User B opens up a blank MXD, adds in the feature class and notices Feature 2 is missing. It is not selectable nor query-able.

 

-User B manually adds Feature 2 back into the feature class and saves edits and the MXD.

 

-User C adds the feature class to a blank MXD and notices that Feature 2 is missing (despite it being added back by User B).

 

-Feature 2 is added back to the feature class for a 2nd time and saved.

 

-User C opens the feature class and see that Feature 2 is now there, but now Feature 3 is missing.

 

 

Has anyone ever experienced something like this? Would you think this is an ArcMap problem or something to do with network connections? This data is located on a network drive so that users in the department can all access it.

 

Thanks for any insight you can provide!

 

 

Kind regards,
