I have two polygon layers, parcels and subdivisions, but only working on parcels now. I'm running into what I think is a problem validating topology prior to loading it into a parcel fabric. This is my second set of test data; I was able to get the first set into a parcel fabric with help from a number of folks here (thanks again!).
First I validated the parcel polygon layer against itself using the rules Must Not Overlap and Must Not Have Gaps. Then I created lines from the parcel polgons using Features To Lines. Okay so far. Then I added the six rule topology described in step six, page 12 of the white paper "Loading Data into a Parcel Fabric". Everything checked out except the fifth rule - "[Line feature class] Must Not Intersect Or Touch Interior". Every parcel line that shares a boundary with another parcel shows up as an error - 1067 of them (see attached).
This can't be right. I don't recall this error with my first set of data, but maybe I did something differently this time. Don't know what, though. Any ideas on what's going on? Thanks.
