Parcel Fabric Traverse: choose a default layer to edit

AndrewWallick — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 21:22:17 GMT

It would be great to be able to choose a layer to be default for the Traverse tool.

When I edit parcels, I'll often start digitizing a traverse, only to later realize I'm editing the wrong layer. I then either have to copy and paste the lines, or if I was editing a polygon, just start over.

If we could choose a default layer that would save so much time. It could even just remember whatever choice you had the previous time, and if you don't have that layer on or editing is turned off, it could show a warning (similar to the recent warnings added to many geoprocessing tools for filters on layers).

I agree that the traverse tool should at least consistently remember the last layer you were editing on.

Hello @AndrewWallick

One way to have a specific layer set on the Traverse tool is to use it in a Task. If you have a workflow where you are traversing specific lines (or polys) you can create a Task and set the Traverse as the action for a step. You can preset the layer that is set in the Traverse tool when that step is run.

Also @LucasBeauchamp the Traverse tool does remember the last layer you were editing within the instance of Pro. If you close Pro it will reset to the top line/poly feature alphabetically.

@JasonCamerano Hmmm. I'll have to go back and give that a try, but I remember being slightly frustrated about this during holistic not sure I put it in the notes though. Perhaps that just because we had to close Pro quite often because of the performance and bugs. Good to hear that it is intended to work that way at least. Thanks.

Hi @JasonCamerano, thanks for the info! I didn't realize you could set that in tasks, that's good to know if we end up using tasks more in the future. For now, we don't use them much because our workflows tend to vary quite a bit. We have a lot of unique cases when it comes to parcel changes so we often have to use tools in different orders.
