Smooth?

Trying to smooth out the coast of Maine by taking a polygon (selecting out the islands) and converting it to a line feature -

Matt also tried calling the Community for GIS in Farmington to see if they had any advise but no one was there

So far having a little trouble with selecting out the islands and getting them to delete

Created a New Field called 'Acres', calculated the geometry and then selected features that were less than 2500 acres - the areas are selected but when I try to delete it does not seem to want to ________

Dear Sarah,
You need to turn on the editor tool to delete...
______________________________

Deleted out hydro features less than 2500 acres and the coast line is starting to look better - going to try and smooth the polygon (even though we were having trouble before) rather than make it a line because maybe with the little islands gone, the smoothing will go better - did not go according to plan -

Meet again on Friday.
