This short video shows you how the history and lineage of changes to the land record are recorded in the parcel fabric when you merge two parcels.  See the original parcels become historic as the linkage to the merged parcel that replaces them is automatically maintained. This video was recorded using ArcGIS Pro version 2.8 in July 2021.

Welcome to Esri Community resources for the Working with Parcel Data in ArcGIS Pro course.  This course teaches how to maintain accurate, up-to-date, and authoritative parcel data using the parcel fabric in ArcGIS Pro. You will learn a standard workflow to create a parcel fabric in a file geodatabase, add parcel data to the fabric, and edit parcels to reflect real-world changes. This course assumes familiarity with land-records terminology. The ArcGIS Parcel Fabric Place is your main source for Parcel Fabric information on Esri Community. In addition to the ArcGIS Parcel Fabric Place, you can find video resources that walk through different parcel fabric concepts and workflows by visiting the ArcGIS Parcel Fabric Videos Place. Many of the presentations that get posted as videos can be attended live on the Parcel Fabric Meetup. Be sure to sign up for announcements! The Parcel fabric help is your authoritative guide to the Parcel fabric.   Resources: Lesson 1: Exploring parcel fabrics   This lesson introduces you to the parcel fabric in ArcGIS Pro.

Use this layer package to display a point on each vertex in a line layer. This is useful for visualizing the results of the Simplify By Straight Lines And Circular Arcs  tool in ArcGIS Pro.  Visualize the vertices and adjust the tool parameters to get optimal circular arcs (true parametric curves) from Segmented curves (approximate or densified curves) . To run: Add the layer package to the map Open the symbology for your line layer Import the symbology from the layer that was added from the layer package. You now see a dot on every vertex. ...
