Hi Phil If you already have topological correctness between your polygons and lines then I would think it would be easier to append your lines. That way you can append and transfer all your attribute information as well (just make sure you create matching fields, domains etc in the parcel lines feature class). If you build new lines, you will then need to transfer attributes accross to all the fields. ... View more

My suggestion would be to add an automatic, hidden step at the end that sets everything in the Contents back to how you like it. ... View more

Hi Anna   Are you using the Append Parcel geoprocessing tool? This tool takes an input fabric and appends it to a target fabric. The standard Append tool will append features from an input feature class to a target feature class. The target feature class can be in a parcel fabric. The Append tool is used for data migration: Migrate in polygons and then build parcels.   ... View more

Here is a help link that covers the parcel fabric layer in detail - including historic parcels https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/parcel-editing/parcelfabricassociatedlayers.htm ... View more

Hi Diane   We have a recording that we presented at our parcel fabric meetups that covers data migration to a Pro parcel fabric in the kind of detail you are looking for - included are tips and tricks etc https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-parcel-fabric-videos/meetup-migrating-and-administrating-parcels-with/td-p/1022942 Also make sure to read through the migration workflow steps in the documentation https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/parcel-editing/workflow-createpfandload.htm   ...

Hi When I follow your workflow and merge the lines into an existing feature - I dont see any historic lines created (which is expected). It probably is better to merge to a new feature and manually set the parent lines as historic using the Set Historic tool. I see that the documentation does say to merge the lines to an existing feature and I will update that to merge to a new feature instead.    ... View more

Hi Chad Are the dimensions on your parcel lines generated from the geometry (inversed)? If dimensions are generated from the line geometry there is no error. So any a priori accuracies you put in will always return a Too Low Chi test - because there is zero error in the measurements. In this case the CHI test is not really meaningful.  Chi test will start to become meaningful once "real" dimensions are added from the record.  How does your data look - are the dimensions from the record? For the constrained adjustment: A selection of both parcels and lines can be used as input to the least-squares analysis. When parcels are selected, dimensions on the parcel lines and coordinates of the endpoints of the parcel lines will be used as input to the adjustment. If lines or connection lines are individually selected, the dimensions on the lines and the coordinates of its endpoints will be used as input to the adjustment. It is not necessary to select the control points.   Christine   ... View more

Hi - Here is an explanation of the CHI test from the documentation: "If the Chi-square test fails and is too low, the estimated a priori accuracies may be too low (meaning that the numeric accuracy values may be too high). To improve the test, increase the estimated accuracies (decrease the numeric values). For example, decrease a 30 seconds accuracy estimate for directions to 20 seconds and rerun the adjustment. If the Chi-square test fails and is too high, the estimated a priori accuracies may be too high (meaning that the numeric accuracy values may be too low). To improve the test, first use the adjustment feature classes to identify and correct any measurements that are flagged as outliers. Then rerun the adjustment. If there are no measurements flagged as outliers, decrease the estimated accuracies (increase the numeric values). For example, increase a 0.59-foot estimate for distances to 0.8 feet." So for you, you need to go ahead and increase your a-priori accuracies (decrease the numeric values).  "A priori accuracies are specified in the Direction Accuracy and Distance Accuracy fields of the parcel line or connection line feature class. If the fields are missing accuracies, the defaults of 30 seconds for directions and 0.15 meters (0.49 feet) for distances are used."

Frank is correct - just use the standard editing Merge tool to merge lines into a polyline. Be aware that you may lose COGO attributes if you entered them for the individual lines. ... View more
