Have you seen COGO Reader?

[DanielStone]

Good day Parcel Aficionados,

With the release of ArcGIS Pro 3.5, the parcel fabric team has introduced the COGO Reader Tool.   COGO Reader is a new tool designed to assist editors that enter metes and bounds to describe land boundaries.  

Here is a short video of Jason Camerano demonstrating the advantages this tool can provide when entering deeds.

I was so sorry to miss it. Did anyone record the meeting?  Can you post it?

[AmirBar-Maor]

Hello Fabian. It has been recorded.

You can find the recording here: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-parcel-fabric-videos/meetup-cogo-reader-deep-dive/m-p/1636303#M...

This is a fantastic tool, but having to use it with a parcel fabric is a show-stopper. I work for a water district that doesn't have the need for a parcel fabric.  We do process legal descriptions on a regular basis, but there is no way to justify the time/expense of creating a parcel fabric just to run the COGO Reader tool.  A parcel fabric makes sense for the appropriate type of operations, such a tracking parcels in an Assessor's Office, but for a lot of us, requiring it kills the use of a great tool in our organization.

Good day @LTWDGIS ,

I'm curious, Are the legal descriptions ya'll process describing land?   Why wouldn't the parcel fabric be used for this purpose?  The ArcGIS Parcel Fabric is not only for Tax Parcels, but for any type of land.   What is the type of information you are mapping using legal descriptions?   Leases? Easements? Fee Simple?

I'm having the same issue. I would like to use the COGO Reader for easements and not have to create a parcel fabric.

I cant find this tool within Arcpro, i just doaloaded 3.5 yeterday. Can some help me?

[DanielStone]

Good day @VincentRobinson , 

You can get to the tool from the 'Parcel Records Workflows' tab.    This tab will become active when you have a parcel fabric in the map.

Hi, Dan - 

Are there plans to make COGO Reader available as a widget for use in Web App Builder maps? 

[AmirBar-Maor]

@LeeGravel 

Web App Builder is being deprecated - see announcement here.

It is being replaced with the Experience Builder, which is based on a newer version of java script (4.x).

Do we have to make COGO Reader available to parcel fabric users on the web? yes

When? not in the 'near-term'. We want to release the parcel fabric on ArcGIS Online first.
