Hello Carol, With the Parcel Fabric, those original parcels are marked historic. To get them back as current parcels, select them, right-click and toggle the 'Historic' setting. Chris

Hello Jacob, this should be working. Is there any way that you can send me a sample dataset? There are 3 settings that you can apply when you create the FL anno class, do you have the "create annotation when new features are created" option checked?

Hello Carol, that is a good question. For data that doesn't fit the existing parcel network very well, but you feel that the existing Fabric is more accurate, use first join mehtod. The first join method is callled "Fabric points held fixed". http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Join_methods/001t0000040p000000/ Chris Parcel Editing Team

Also, does anyone have this working correctly? gp.MakeParcelFabricLayer_fabric() I want to do something like this, but I'm not sure if it works. I'm able to create a feature layer but then I can't do any geoprocessing with it. Am I doing something wrong. I want to create something like this script. http://arcscripts.esri.com/details.asp?dbid=16324 It basically creates a feature layer from a selection. This would come in handy because I could use it to create a selection from fabric and then create a "mask" of parcels that I want to create a map book page for. Any and all help would be appreciated. I want to be able to do this! gp.MakeParcelFabricLayer_fabric(inFC,outLayer,defQuery) Yes, I have read this 🙂 http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//009000000006000000.htm At ArcGIS 10, you can apply a "mask" to parcels within a map sheet by enabling data driven pages and then apply a "data driven page" to the data frame for clipping. You can also exclude layers, for instance parcels. This essentially creates an area of interest for the map page, making everything for that page stand out. Screenshot Attached below... If you are trying to create a published representation of parcels based on the entire parcel fabric or just a subset via selection, then the following code applies to you. Also keep in mind that you can manually run these tools via GeoProcessing. >>> import arcpy >>> from arcpy import env ## Specify workspace (FD) >>> env.workspace = "E:\LandRecordsTemplate\LocalGovernment.gdb\ParcelEditing" ## Make in-memory Parcel Fabric (entire Fabric) Specify output name (TESTER2) >>> arcpy.MakeParcelFabricLayer_fabric("ParcelFabric", "TESTER2") <Result 'TESTER2'> ##Input in-memory output from above into copy features, specifying the parcels sub-class (Parcels) and the output (OUTPUTPUBLISH). Note the ParcelPublishing FD. >>> arcpy.CopyFeatures_management ("TESTER2\Parcels","E:\LandRecordsTemplate\LocalGovernment.gdb\ParcelPublishing\OUTPUTPUBLISH") <Result 'E:\\LandRecordsTemplate\\LocalGovernment.gdb\\ParcelPublishing\\OUTPUTPUBLISH'>

I am busy testing the parcel fabic and there are a few aspects of it that I am specifically interested in, one of them being the recording of lineage between parent and child parcels. From what I have read, this is stored in the PARCELFABRIC_HISTORY table in an SDE database. Now, for my testing I have set up a personal SDE database in SQL server express ... but I am not seeing any information being recorded in this table when I create new parcels by merging or splitting existing parcels. So, I guess my question is, is there any special/specific procedure that needs to be follows to ensure that the lineage is recorded in the PARCELFABRIC_HISTORY table? The parcel history, or parcel lineage is recorded in a few places in the Parcel Fabric. If you take a look at the Parcel table, you'll notice 5 fields. Historical SystemStartDate SystemEndDate LegalStartDate LegalEndDate These first 3 in the list are system maintained, the last two (legal dates) are user-specified fields. We recommend that you use the legal dates when tracking real "parcel-lineage" since they should house the recorded date of the land reconfiguration. Please also take a look at the lines table, since is also has all the date fields. This table is also update automatically when you retire and create parcels. This will help you display these parcels/lines on particular dates with the use of layers and definition queries. If you right click the Parcel Fabric in ArcMap, you can use the property page to control the definition query on these particular layers. The History table is currently not used by the Fabric editing tools, it is there so that developers can write to the table for other customizations.

Carlos, Christine should be able to help you with the .net code, but if you want a quick python example I've attached one. Do everything in the screenshot below, everything else is used to created stacked condominium parcels for publication (you may not need that). Of course, you'll also have to replace the SDE connection info and Parcel Fabric name. Hope this helps Chris

Per ESRI Tech Support this is a known bug. Not sure when the fix will be rolled out. This is a complicated one technically, but the Parcel Editing Team is working on it. As for the workaround, have you tried using the "Set Data Source(s)..." option on the context menu for a MXD in catalog? I believe this will work, it creates a copy of the MXD so that you don't change the original. See screenshot below:

Hey Chris, You know what, now that I have read your explanation I have to agree with the parcel selector being used this way. I cannot tell you how many times I've had to open the parcel explored window just to select the parcel type I've wanted to edit, so yes, good job on that one! We're trying to minimize the use of the parcel explorer, not because it's bad...but because it's just one more dockable window that you have to interact with and it takes up space, destroying real-estate. You still have to use the parcel explorer for constructions and unjoined parcels...but if you are finishing all your work (new sub, new parcel, etc.) in one sitting, there's no reason to interact with it.

Jason, There are a few places where you can start. I take it you are using a State Plane gird coordinate system? If so, do you have the current PLSS (GCDB) corner points? The Parcel Editor assumes that all incoming measurements are in local, ground coordinates. Understanding that, you can join these parcels to control points in state plane, essentially establishing a general ground-to-grid conversion. I would take a look at an area that resides near the baseline and meridian intersection of the State Plane coordinate system and start by joining a few parcels that have known connection to section corners and works out from there. Would you like to set up a call to discuss? I'd be more than willing to help you get started. Chris Parcel Editing Team

Interesting. A couple things changed at SP2 in regards to selection. The Parcel Selection tool now displays the selection chip for a single-click selection. This helps when trying to select one of multiple-stacked parcels. This was enhanced to support Parcel Fabric users that have multiple parcel types in the Fabric, and should be seen as an enhancement (hopefully). The second thing is that the Parcel Selection tool will work the same as the standard edit tool. This prevents you from having to continuously switch back and forth between tools just to make selections. The select-ability of layers should be controlled by the 'List by Selection' button on the TOC. I've attached a screenshot for the "selection chip" showing its importance. The screenshot shows the Lot/Tax Parcel phenomena, where you need to only edit the tax parcels, but you also selected the lots. This also works in the Subdivision, lot, tax parcel scenario, or wherever else you may have multiple parcel types stacked. David, the issue that you mention seems to be data specific, I will take a look to see if I can reproduce. I was unable to reproduce this behavior on a series of sample datasets including the tutorial data. Chris Parcel Editing Team

Yes, the option to recalculate spatial indexes exists for a version 10 GDB. You'll have to navigate to the Parcels and Lines classes of the Parcel Fabric via the Parcel Fabric property page. I've included a screenshot above, please let me know if you have any other questions. Here is a generic link to how calculating spatial indexes optimizes datasets. http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//001700000060000000.htm Chris Parcel Editing Team

Hello again Rick, Looks like this was never really supported with ArcGIS, but there is a sample that I think does what you are asking. Please re-direct the post to the ArcGIS Desktop forum if not. http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/arcgisdesktop/com/samples/Cartography/Symbols/Text_Backgrounds/Custom_Circle_Callout/63134c24-b37a-4212-961b-e1bd73bfbacb.htm Sorry again for the delay.

Hello Rick, Sorry from the lack of response from the Esri camp, we sort of have a mixture of genres here...one being Land Records and the other being general symbology/labeling. I'm trying to get to the bottom of it, I'll respond when I have more information. Chris
