CAD files shift in Parcel Fabric

ChadWoods1 — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 00:14:15 GMT

So I started exporting CAD data to the parcel fabric and as soon as I try to append the data to the parcel record, it shifts a few feet away from the original location.

In this case, it happened as soon as I created the parcel polygon using the seed function.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello @ChadWoods1

The shift you are seeing cannot be related to the parcel fabric and the workflow is not detailed enough to pinpoint the issue.

If I had to guess it probably has to do with different spatial references between the source data (CAD) and the target. Maybe one is using US Feet and the other standard feet.
Also make sure that you see the CAD file in the correct location before you "append" it (not sure if you use geoprocessing append or copy the data)

My recommendations:
