I came across this while trying to tackle orphaned points in the fabric. There's two scenarios that made it appear as if both of these tools were not working at all. A densified curve made up of a bunch of short features A densified curve made up of a bunch of short segments (but a single feature) In situation #1 Merge Boundaries appeared to not work because the short features were already arcs themselves. In situation #2 SLACA appeared to not work because all or some of the segments were also already arcs. If just one of the many segments was an arc, SLACA would not work. The documentation for both Merge Boundaries and SLACA indicate that they do not modify existing arcs (or other curves) which explains why this was happening. I'm assuming the reason for these already being curves is either a legacy issue or something that happened during migration to the Fabric. To help fix these issues, I think there should be an option within both of these tools to process existing arcs and either include them in the algorithm or process them as if they were just two-point straight lines. Examples Scenario #1 - These are already individual arcs. Merge Boundaries will not do anything for these, so the tool appears to not work. The tool works properly after either running Densify on the features or manually changing them to 2-point straight lines. After running Densify, then Merge Boundaries, I get the expected single feature with densified vertices, and the orphaned parcel points are automatically removed. Scenario #2 - similar to #1 except we've already got a single feature, but each segment is an arc: Running SLACA on this results in no change. Workaround is the same, either densify the line or manually set segments to straight lines, then run SLACA. After which we get the expected result: Another issue with these workarounds is you have to do this for all lines and polygons affected (for polys it's probably easier to shrink/reconstruct) ...

As we work to clean up legacy issues in our Fabric, sometimes we're redrawing curves or using SLACA, but this leaves behind the old densified points. Back in the before times there was a tool to deal with orphaned points but currently that doesn't exist in Pro. So, I'm here for another sanity check. If I select all the points then use the Select By Location tool to remove from the selection points that intersect any of the <Fabric_Parcel_Type>_Lines (including historic) and the Connection Lines, at the end all I should be left with is orphaned points selected. So, I do that and I end up with about 2500 out of 150k points selected as orphaned. For now I'm just going to flag them so I can inspect them, but does this workflow seem correct? ... View more

Sometimes, when I'm doing attribute edits I turn off Auto Apply so I don't get thwarted by the applying edits dialog. I know you can eventually tab down to the Apply button and tap spacebar, but is there a shortcut like F2 for drawing? ... View more

How are you all handling the response time alerts with regards to the services that are on the shared pool? It seems that 98% of the alerts I get are from these when they're hit for the first time each day. Do you just shut the alerts off for them or are you using some other alert configuration than the out of the box one? ... View more
