How do I add a symbol class to the default LGIM symbology?

[JamiePetersen]

When I drag my fabric into ArcMap, the symbology is set by default.  My fabric model includes a custom Lot type, which was added to the domain simcondivtype.  How can I add this value to the Lots and Units symbology?  When I click the symbology tab, the Categories option isn't available to me to add the value.

Thanks.

Instead of dragging it to the map, add the Parcel Fabric through the Map. You should be able to see the symbol classes then.

When I add the fabric via the Add Data button it comes into the table of contents exactly the same as if it were to drag it in from catalog.  I can see the default classes, it's that I can't add a Value to the Lot or Unit Type.

What is happening to you is how mine was acting when I dragged it into the map. I was told it was a bug and to add the data. That then allowed me to access the Categories in the Symbology tab. Sorry that it looks like this solution didn't help you.

Right-click the Lots and Units layer, click Properties to open the Layer Properties dialog box and go to the Symbology tab. Click Add Values - the custom type should show up in the Add Values dialog box... When you click it and click OK, it should appear as a new symbol under the symbol list.

Does that work?

Christine- Sorry for the delay.  Your suggestion didn't work for me, but it did shed some light on the subject.  Your solution works when the fabric source is a File GDB.  My fabric is in SDE.  When I view the Symbology tab from each type of source the module is different in the SDE version vs FGDB (see screenshot).[ATTACH=CONFIG]26014[/ATTACH]

Hello,

I just posted a question about this same issue...have you had any luck resolving this?  Is this a bug in the Fabric?  It's seems a bit buggy.

Thanks.

Here's the workaround.  Add your fabric to the map; it's symbolized automatically.  Add Data and browse to your fabric, go into the fabric, and add the ParcelFabric_Parcels feature class.  Now open the symbology for your fabric layer that you need to modify.  Choose import and then select your stand alone Parcels feature class.  click apply and ok.  Now, go back into the same fabric layer and you should see the Categories option return.  Granted you have to set it all up manually now, but at least you can change symbols/add values.
