Parcel Editor: No snap is available while updating fabric polygon based on regular feature(s) underneath,

JamalNUMAN

I couldn’t figure out how to update fabric polygon feature based on a regular feature(s) underneath given that snapping doesn’t detect regular features nor the “split features” work.

For example, in the screenshot below, parcel number 58 is required to be updated based on the “green” feature class. What might be the best practice to accomplish this given that:

Snaps don’t detect the regular features
“Split Polygons” tool fails to divide parcel number 58 based on the selected polygon features (this works very well if parcel 58 is not fabric feature)

Thank you

Best

Jamal

I don't work specifically with parcel fabrics, but if you enable classic snapping and set it to use the "green" feature class, do you then get the snap option you need?

JamalNUMAN

Unfortunately. This doesn’t work.

The issue with fabric features is that they have their own editing environment and this is why the tools that used to work in the regular editing might not necessarily work in the fabric.

To accomplish this you can either use Construct from parent

Splitting parcels using construction lines—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop

Or the Parcel Division tool

Dividing parcels by area—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop

Thanks Christine,

My issue here is to take the advantage of having the CAD data. This is not explained in the help.

Neither Snap nor “split polygons” can work with CAD in the fabric environment

Parcel fabric menu tree starts here What is a parcel fabric?—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop

Tutorial documentation Tutorial: Get started with parcel fabric editing—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop

are the differences because they don't work? or don't work the way you want them to?

JamalNUMAN

The Fabric Editor has no capabilities to work with CAD objects (Snap\Split Polygons) the same way these capabilities are available in standard editor.

All what I’m receiving is very generic answers with no substantial key how to modify the fabric layer based on a given CAD layer.

I must be missing something since they have lots of references to cad eg

New Subdivision from CAD—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop

ChristineLeslie

The parcel fabric does not directly work with CAD data. Cad data needs to be migrated into the parcel fabric as parcels OR entered using the parcel traverse or parcel construction tools. Parcels in the parcel fabric do not work with the standard editor or standard editing tools. Data must be loaded into the parcel fabric data model and must work with the parcel fabric toolbar. This is by design.

The workflow link Dan pasted below shows how to build a new subdivision from cad data. But you cannot work with parcel fabric parcels and standalone CAD data using the same tools. All data must be in the parcel fabric data model.

JamalNUMAN

The issue that I need to highlight here is that it would be great if naps can detect CAD objects (or nay non-fabric layer) while working with fabric editor.

Also, I still need an equivalent to “split polygon” while working with fabric editor.

Thanks
