missing a tool

ChrisOverland — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 23:42:27 GMT

Hello, when I right click on my ArcMAP tool bar and attempt to locate any parcel tools, nothing is there. Is there a way I can add under that circumstance? Thanks, Chris

Have you looked under Customize-->Toolbars and checked the box next to parcel editor? Also, you should find a Parcel Fabric toolset in ArcToolbox.

By the way, what version of ArcMap are you using? I see the parcel editor toolbar option when I right click in the toolbar also. Are you using Basic? It's only available for the higher license levels: ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)

Chris,

Parcel editor is available with ArcGIS ver.10 and above. Formerly it was known as Cadastral Editor. Although, its licensing is available with Desktop Standard and Advanced, the toolbar should be visible on complete installation of ArcGIS Desktop. Meanwhile you can check the Toolbar>Customize option, as suggested by Sephe Fox.

Hi Sephe, I have looked under Customize/Toolbars and it's not there. Nothing indicating 'parcel' is there. There IS a box checked 'Editor' but nothing related to Parcel. I'm using version 9.2 build 1324. Do not see any Parcel Fabric in my ArcToolbox either.

To now, this version has worked pretty well for what I needed. Our county provides shapefiles that we download which includes a shapefile boundary for our district and from that, we can extract and clip an assessment roll. The reason I started looking for something extra and/or perhaps some help is that we have reason to want to carve out small areas to build resident notification lists from, so if I could mouseover a small section on my screen (that may comprise a 1/2 mile square) and build a shapefile from that, it would capture the parcel numbers within that 1/2 mile square and we wouldn't ever miss anyone on our mailing list as has happened in the past when area weed treatments were done. I had hoped that my old v9.2 might do something like that.

Thanks Jayanta - appreciate the response. Hopefully for what I'm trying to do, I won't have to pay for an upgrade. Our office uses the software in a pretty limited way as compared to many of you.

Chris, you do not have to buy the upgrade to arcgis v10.2. You can easly try for 60 days the new release 10.3 or the upgrade 10.3.1, and the new arcgis of couse contains all the new tools to work with parcels.

Thanks Nicola,

Having read my response to Sephe, what version would you recommend? Would 'Basic' serve my needs?

Chris, the trial 60 days version offer you the advanced licensing. So you can use the best level, Arcinfo with all extensions without any restriction.

As far i know maybe exist a free tool to work wth parcels, but i dont know if it work with your arcgis v9.2. You need to search in the esri arcscript section

ArcScripts downloads - ESRI Support parcel search

Parcel Tools in Layman's Terms Parcel tool

pdf here--> http://www.esri.com/news/arcuser/0507/files/parceltools.pdf

This tool maybe work with arcgis v9.2/9.3, but maybe you need the arceditor license level.. Try it

Did you look and see if the Cadastral Editor is there? As Jayanta mentioned, this is what parcel editor was called before version10.

Re: missing a tool

SepheFox — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 16:18:47 GMT

Chris, you can get the trial version of advanced, as Nicola says, but If you're going to buy it, the basic level won't work for you because you won't be able to use the parcel editor unless you get a higher license level.

I received a call from Esri and forgive the spelling error if it's wrong, "Elda". She was so helpful and showed me a work-around to the problem. I forgot to ask her something though so I'll ask here: The version I have is a 32 bit version and it crashes my Windows 7 64 bit desktop machine like you can't imagine but works great on my Windows 7 32 bit laptop. Is there a cost effective way for me to get into a 64 bit installer of ArcGIS where I can use it on my desktop where I have a wonderful large monitor system?

Nicola, you mentioned that I do not have to buy the upgrade to arcgis v10.2 - how might I download that v10.2 presumably with a 64 bit installer?

Thanks again everyone,

Chris

Chris, you can get the evaluation version here: ArcGIS for Desktop | Free Trial. In regards to your laptop/desktop issue. You could use your desktop to access your laptop remotely (Connect to another computer using Remote Desktop Connection - Windows Help), or you could simply hook your laptop up to all those monitors.

Chris, there is not exist any arcgis desktop at 64 bit. Only the Arcgis pro, but is not contains any parcel tool as far i know.

If you use Win7 x64 the minimun requisite to work is arcgis 9.3.1 with all service packs

Win8-->> Arcgis v10.2.1

Win8.1 -->>Arcgis v10.2.2

If you have Win7 x64 Bit SP1 ArcGIS v10.2 will work as x86 program without any prblem. But i suggest you to download the v10.2.2 installer. Or simply download the 10.3.

Cadastral Editor was a part of ArcGIS Survey Analyst. I doubt if Chris has a license for the same.

Chris: If you are planning for an upgrade, it should be at least ArcGIS for Desktop Standard to avail Parcel Editor.
