Deed Drafter requirements

[LeithaSackmann]

Do you need your parcels to be in a Parcel Fabric in order to use the new Deed Drafter application?
If not, would this still be of benefit? In other words, could you still use the XML to "seamlessly appended to a local government�??s parcel dataset" in a simple parcel model? 

Thanks, Leitha

Deed Drafter output is a Cadastral XML. It contains all the traverse information + additional information like the line type, plan information, spatial reference system and more.
Can Deed Drafter be used without a parcel fabric?
The answer is yes, for example to check for closure and calculate the area
Does it make sense to use Deed Drafter without the parcel fabric?
Deed Drafter is one component of the ArcGIS for Land Records Solution. The Solution includes many apps and maps that all use 1 common information model: the Local Government Information Model. If you adhere to the information model and the solution it will make your workflows more efficient, improve your data quality and make it easier to deploy the rich content you maintain.
