I need help deleting orphaned points

Syvertson — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 16:14:58 GMT

Hello all.

I am using the new Parcel Fabric in Pro, and am noticing a growing number of orphaned points. I know there were tools in the ArcMap based fabric to find and delete them, but I can't seem to find a tool like this in the new fabric. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

In ArcGIS Pro deleting parcel fabric points is as easy as selecting the points and deleting them.

When parcels are deleted points will not get deleted if they are shared by other parcels (current and historic).

You are also free to create points as you see fit (control points, witness points, cadastral reference point...)

Since parcels are not usually deleted - please make sure that there are no hidden parcels that are connected to those 'orphan' points (other parcel types, historic parcels).

OK. I guess my usage is not typical. When I brought over the old fabric, I brought over whole areas that just need to be redone. So I deleted them assuming the points would go with, and then redrew them. now I zoom in and there are a lot of points from the old stuff that make everything "not so clean."

Hi Mattew,

Every use-case is valid, even if you don't; think it is "typical".

For people coming from ArcMap it will take a while to get thinking "simple" - in this case selecting the points you want to delete and press the delete key, then save edits.
