Parcel Alignment that doesn't affect other parcels

anna_garrett

I am currently having problems with the Align Parcel tool will warp surrounding parcels, causing a significant amount of time wasted playing around with the move and rotate tool to accurately fit. Please consider retooling the Align Parcel tool to only affect the selected parcel, similar to how the old Parcel Fabric handled joining.

Anna, I am not commenting on ESRI's behalf, but I believe the Align Parcels tool is already configured to have the selected parcel(s) subject to the 'warping' that in many cases, must take place for the alignment to run properly. By default, the new parcel being inserted is selected and will have it's geometry changed however which way it needs to to fit the alignment, based on the linkages that are established. Yet, there is an option to switch the selection to the surrounding parcels, to have the current fabric data subject to the geometry changes.

Many new Pro users struggle with this "switch selection to surrounding parcels" toggle because, in certain cases if they are working in a 'heavy fabric' with many types besides parcels, they get caught in a trap where they only have tax parcels turned on as a layer when creating and aligning new tax parcels. I've noticed that the 'warping' only takes place to the fabric data that is turned on. This is where I believe ESRI's land records guys need to make the improvement, because I've seen poor alignment outputs in associated data (such as sections, subdivisions, ROW's etc) because not all layers were turned on when the alignment was exectuted. I believe the behavior of the Alignment tool needs to be made safer, such that when the user applies the "switch selection" it applies to all fabric type data in the surrounding region of the parcel, regardless of whether or not the layers are turned on or not in the map.

Hope this was somewhat helpful.

This is where I disagree, I may not want the other layers in my fabric affected by an alignment in an unrelated layer.

The parcel joining functionality in the ArcMap fabric was top tier compared to Align Parcels available in Pro. Every time I use Align Parcels I have to check against last year's data to make sure I didn't move boundaries that didn't need to be shifted. This is rough and getting to be unusable.

Fair enough. When I mentioned the scenario of "other layers" or different layers, I was referring to the fundamental purpose of the fabric, which is to ensure 'intended relationships' between cadastral data strewn about different layers be maintained in alignments and adjustments. For instance, a property line in the real world may represent the edge of a tax parcel, but also a PLS section boundary, or even a subdivision boundary, which are represented in different feature layers in the fabric.

If the fabric map editor is processing a split that warrants a repositioning of such a tax parcel boundary, the alignment tool, if executed properly, will make adjustments to the features in all of those layers, in tandem.

The great thing about the Pro fabic is that there is tremendous flexibility to further adjust data, even if the user is not satisfied with the output of an alignment. It is all driven by the points. The editors we train in our organization are aware that individual points can be manually adjusted at any time based on preferences.

The selected parcels move.

To move the surrounding parcels and keep the incoming in place, the Selection toggle makes it easier to select them:

The Align Parcels in ArcGIS Pro, just the same as ArcMap, moves points.

Any point that moves, will also move and update any connected line or polygon regardless if they belong to a layer that is visible to not.

Just like ArcMap, only visible parcels participate in the alignment (or Joining).

If a parcel is far off from where it should be, the Move / Rotate / Scale tool can be used to bring it closer.

If you think you are seeing un-expected movements please log a case with technical support.
