Accepted formats for using Parcel Drafter?

KyleWikstrom — Mon, 18 Sep 2017 16:18:36 GMT

Is there documentation that lists the accepted formats for entering Bearings, Length, and Radius using the Parcel Drafter widget? The issue users encounter is the Invalid Bearing, Invalid, Length, or Invalid Radius warning when entering values. The question users ask is, "What are the acceptable formats for entering this information?" This is my question, too. I cannot find any documentation that lists the accepted formats.

Is this documentation available or can it be made available?

Help me, I don't know how to be valid!

How was I supposed to know I needed to type values like this?

Thanks so much all, and Happy Monday!

Personally I have never heard of the Parcel Drafter Widget. Who developed and distributed it?

I enter most of my parcels by using CTRL-A and CTRL-L (angle and length)

Parcel Drafter is a configuration of Web AppBuilder that uses the Parcel Drafter widget. Here is Esri's documentation: Parcel Drafter | ArcGIS for Local Government .

Hi Kyle,

We do have some documentation around entering bearings, for quadrant bearing the format can be entered using NSEW prefix and suffix, or you can use the common shortcuts consistent with our desktop workflows (-1, -2, -3, -4). For decimal degrees, you can use decimal places instead of dashes.
