The Bureau of Land Management and S&P Global Premier Data provide an introduction to the Public Land Survey System Cadastral National Spatial Data Infrastructure (PLSS CadNSDI) and how it is produced and maintained using the ArcGIS Parcel Fabric.   See video recording here: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-parcel-fabric-videos/meetup-plss-cadnsdi-and-the-parcel-fabric/m-p/1599236 ...

Do you know how you can tell that MS Teams call get's disconnected? You can't :-(... so yesterday I found myself talking to myself for half an hour... 🙂 But something good came out: these videos show some of the capabilities of the new parcel fabric in ArcGIS Pro. Part 1 - the topological integrity is maintained between parcels of the same type as well as between parcels of different types (vertical alignment). The new boundary model allows for a single boundary between adjacent parcels which makes it easier to maintain.    The data in cadastral systems has to be defendable - every feature is associated to the legal record that created it. Retired point, boundaries, and parcels are also associated to the record that retired them. This how parcel lineage is supported. Every legal record has a footprint (geometry)   There are 2 types of editing workflows for parcels: Record Driven workflows and Quality Driven workflows. This shows a simple record driven workflow (merge parcels) and how Tasks can be utilized to reduce the learning curve and promote a best practice without the need to customize:   When working with web services and branch versioning there are many new possibilities and advantages. This video shows how edits can be shared in real-time once posted and how you can "travel" to historic moments in time. It also talks about how multiple organizations can keep their data aligned to each other using the geoprocessing tool Import Points:   But how can keep certain boundaries fixed (Pro 2.8 required)? this capability leverage Attribute Rules constraints to prevent a point from moving. Any boundary or polygon attached is also constrained at that location. Useful between jurisdictions and international boundaries. A new geoprocessing tool can also help stakeholders to keep their data in alignment with the authoritative source:   Quality management is a key pillar for a system of record and it comes with the parcel fabric. configure your own rules to meet your business requirements: ...

AGRC is getting ready to load our Utah PLSS Fabric into our SDE, from a local geodatabase. What should my database team know before we start and what are the procedures to do the move? Could not find documentation on ESRI support yet, maybe there is not one, is it more common to build it in the SDE rather than creating it outside then move it? Inquiring minds want to know. ...
