Hey Frank, I appreciate the work around idea, but using the single parcel environment would be a huge pain. Luckily, I got a hold of a regional solutions engineer and she talked to the people in Parcel Editing land and told me to make/edit a registry key. And it worked!Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ESRI\Desktop10.1\ArcMap\CadastralIf you have a key called, MergeCourseAfterBuild, make sure it is set to 0 if you do not want it to merge courses, and 1 if you do. And of course if you do not have it, just create it.
