have 2 shape files. One, which has been accurately digitised,
contains provinces. The second one, which has been badly
digitised, contains regions within the provinces. I now need to
edit the regions so that their boundaries snap to the boundaries
of the provinces where they are adjacent. I think something like
snap and trace should work but I cannot figure out how to do this.
Can anyone please advise? </blockquote>

If I understand your task, a quick way to do the job would be move
the region vertices that are close to the province boundary so they
all lie outside the province. Now clip the region to with the
province boundary.<br>
I think you will need to do this province-by-province, but that
still is probably easier than snap and trace.<br>
