it was a useful clean up tool in the ArcMap parcel fabric.

I can't recall either, to be completely fair. Probably 3.0.

I have encountered this before as well and have since abandoned using the tool. Whatever changes were made absolutely broke it.

that's happened to me before. never figured out what did it. run check geometry then repair geometry. you might also try to only validate a portion of the parcel fabric with a selection or only trying to validate the extent. the last thing you can do is just export all your parcels into their independent point, line & polygon feature classes and rebuilding your fabric from there.

if you have a way to break down the master parent record by something that makes sense, it would probably be better than having one giant one. like "master record for [xyz school district]" or other entity that spans your whole fabric - like in ours, every single parcel will have a school district entity code. as it stands, we migrated from the old parcel fabric so all of ours retained <map> as the parent plan if it was not assigned to a plan in the old fabric. it's not ideal and I don't like it, it doesn't tell me anything about the parcel.

I would just create a new parcel type for them. You can use the duplicate parcel tool to do something like: Duplicate parent tax parcel to acreage adjustment parcels Perform adjustments Set parent parcel historic Duplicate adjustment parcels back to tax parcels, merge Unless I'm misunderstanding your process? Custom parcel types are really whatever you need them to be.

in this instance, no. i suspect it's the underlying data in this case though, not so much the tools. by and large the DXFs i have imported have correct bearings and distances after importing and aligning them.

‎12-05-2022

if i recall correctly i tried that as well. please see my response to jeff as to what actually worked.

‎12-05-2022

so what I ended up finding out was that using the move tool on the lines imported from that DXF broke something somewhere that caused the align tool to fail. once i had restarted the subdivision, reimported the DXF, and attempted to align the parcels from where they landed upon import it worked. so if you ever end up stuck like me, just try skipping using the move tool and see how that works out.

My general workflow is: Add CAD to map and georeference CAD Select lines from the CAD and Copy Lines To a parcel type Clean lines Update COGO Build active parcels Align Parcels Duplicate parcels into the other parcels types just tried your workflow and that bolded item, using the Copy Lines To, created parcels that the align tool works on. i honestly don't know what the difference is, the lines that i took from the CAD file that i imported and copy/pasted into the appropriate parcel type generated parcels that the align tool did not work on. thank you!!!

that's wild. our process is nearly the same, save for the initial 2 steps. i might try your starting steps out to see if it makes a difference at all.

‎11-03-2022

oh yeah, tried that as well. my normal workflow has me aligning all the parcels, regardless of type, in a new subdivision at the same time so as to avoid doing the same thing twice. edit: it works when i enter the lines manually. i think the difference is that i imported a DXF, but i have no idea why it would even matter - that's the only difference.

*** update 11/4/2022: my problem was not actually solved by the solution below. i can't revoke that solution checkmark. i tested the align tool on one parcel that i'd generated with the Copy Lines To tool, but the align tool continued to do nothing when i attempted to align the rest of the subdivision parcels at the same time. aligning one polygon at a time is untenable. *** is there any reason align parcels would be grayed out if I imported lines to generate polygons from a CAD document? has anyone else run into this problem? my workflow went like this: -use CAD to Geodatabase to import lines -planarize lines -update cogo -add seeds -build the Align Parcels tool won't work at all. it is just gray, no error message. if I manually enter lines, everything works normally. I have 3 sections of this masterplanned subdivision to enter today, the DXFs take a huge chunk of the work out. I've run check/repair geometry a few times now and everything appears to be clean. the video for the align parcels tool seems to be gone and the documentation page is scant on details. I've tried everything I've learned from previous problems, like changing the point to edge snapping tolerance and nothing. I'm posting here instead of opening a ticket because I value the opinions of my peers and opening tickets as of late has been extremely frustrating and time consuming. If there was more documentation I could solve most of my problems on my own, at least that's how it used to be.

look for the "parcel features" button next to the select button on the ribbon. that will select the lines and points associated with your polygon, then you can manually move everything at once. you have to make sure that they're selectable in the selection TOC, but i do this all the time! it's totally do-able. another workaround is to have all your points, lines, and polygons associated with a record (most of mine are associated with a corresponding document number from our county clerk) and use the "select features in active record" to select everything for you then move it manually.

if you're shifting a neighboring parcel westward, the parcels that are on the other side of *that* parcel will be affected as well. i would recommend checking the metes and bounds for the surrounding parcels to see if one of them is off as well. you can then select the affected polygons, hit "select parcel features", and then use the move tool to move your parcels around. make sure the topology is turned off, otherwise this won't work.
