Rachel, Usually in a description, if there is no mention of a chord bearing or radial bearing it is implied that the curve is tangent to the previous course in the description. You can then enter the two parameters that you are given to finish the curve. What are you using to enter the description? Are you using the Traverse Tool? If so, you would enter * <enter> 0 <enter> 594.15 <enter> 45.1109 That is assuming your final parameter is set as the delta (central angle), you may have to change the entry unit to dms instead of dd ...

I was a fan of using point labels in the ArcMap fabric because I could construct a subdivision much more quickly. I could stay on the number keys and just use the mouse for map navigation. With the pro version, I have to click on a starting point, click on an end point, enter the bearing and distance, then click on New and do it all over again. Plus if I was entering a series of parallel lot lines ArcMap kept the last entered bearing and distance and I could enter the starting point id then hit Enter a few times and the line was done. I was really fast in ArcMap, Pro is much slower - it seems like when I have a long traverse the lag time between being able to enter lines gets quite significant as well. ... View more

@jcarlsonThis is how I have been doing things as well. I first create the subdivision boundary create seeds and build, then select and copy subdivision lines to my lots layer using the divide tool to break the lines up. Then add the interior lot lines create seeds then build making sure there's a seed in each lot (sometimes I miss a line), number each lot with the sequential numbering tool. Then select the lots that will become tax parcels, follow the relationship class connection to the lines, copy those to tax_ parcels then create seeds and build and using the sequential numbering tool to add the parcel ID. ...

Anna, Your screenshot is showing the "List by Editing" tab of your contents pane. Can you switch it to the "List by Drawing Order" pane and take another screenshot?   Thanks, ... View more

I had the same problem and learned that I needed to actually turn them on so they are visible. Expand the feature class for which you are trying to create seeds in the contents pane, and make sure the seeds layer is visible. I found out that they were being created I just couldn't see them. I hope that helps. ... View more

You can turn off the selection box by going to the backstage, then options, on the Selection tab unselect the "Display the interactive selection graphic". I actually like it, it allows me to re-select if I had the wrong layers select-able, I just need to bump it a little after I make the change in the List by Selection tab of the contents pane. ...

You can modify the locator providers to search just one field in a layer. I did a tutorial on the Locate tool here: https://youtu.be/DGBtMEtp-Z0 ... View more

Have you tried the Align Features tool? it works without a topology. You can even turn off the layer you want to align while you trace the feature to which you want it aligned, then turn it on before you hit the Align button. ... View more

I'm thinking the transition to the new forum platform has messed with your code samples - it looks like newlines and white space didn't come across very well. ... View more
