@jcarlson Sometimes that will work to clear odd behavior (like when the ribbon stops responding) but that didn't clear that one for me.  @JeffWard I avoid that tool if I can avoid it! pretty easy to mess up, imo. @AmirBar-Maor I have done that by accident before, but not this time. I found at least one spot where a line overlapped another and the endpoint was snapped to a vertex instead of the other line's endpoint but that was only the case for one of the parcels that did not build. the ultimate route I took was to sketch in the polygons, which isn't great but in my case there were only a handful and my lines were straight off the plat.  Thank you for the heads up about the new label class for seeds, I have custom label expressions and will need to back those up before updating to the new version. Is there anything parcel seed specific that I might need to worry about? I also have custom symbology that I absolutely can't lose. Fwiw those are already backed up elsewhere but knowing ahead of time that I'm going to have readjust everything would be tremendously helpful. ... View more

I just ran through the cache settings for the two layers I have active and caching is enabled.  Just really frustrating to wait between creating lines when I haven't moved the display, like I have it set up so I can see the whole block I'm working, entered all the lines for the perimeter of the block with the traverse tool so all I have to do is sketch the individual lot lines. Equally as frustrating that copy parallel doesn't generate lines that snap x.x ... View more

Yeah, that doesn't really help if I'm in the middle of sketching. I use that fairly frequently when I'm panning around though. edit: it would be cool if the F9 keyboard shortcut from arcmap would work in pro ... View more

i genuinely can't think of a way to finagle the divide tool to fit the data you have.  i would just convert the values. ... View more

i've never seen that before and i'm sorry they did that! can you not just sketch the curve with the traverse tool using the chord direction & length parameters instead? ... View more

@jcarlson ah yeah that's the difference. I honestly do appreciate that functionality as much as I'm complaining about it. I have direct access to the database, is there any way you could share that query? Not going to use it directly, it won't work on my end and I know it, I would just really love to see an example of something that worked at one point. My SQL is rusty lol   ... View more

oh yeah, I get how a GUID works. It's the same as OIDs.  Side note, looks like I had Records unchecked in the List by Editing window. That's why I haven't been able to edit them. Whoooops. I might be able to cobble something together in Arcade to show me what I want to see, especially with huge parent parcels that get subdivided into smaller parent parcels over time.  ... View more

well that's something I could try out when I have another slow day.  What prompted this was trying to figure out what the deed was that created a parcel that was being further divided by a newer deed without having to go into our separate appraisal database and dig. I thought, oh I could search by the GUID in the Created By Record field but nothing came up.  I also thought records couldn't have their attributes edited after it had parcels associated with it? Maybe that's old info and I just haven't tried to add data to a record recently ... View more

@AmirBar-Maor that looks awesome!! hopefully this will stop some headaches! ... View more

>This is where I believe ESRI's land records guys need to make the improvement, because I've seen poor alignment outputs in associated data (such as sections, subdivisions, ROW's etc) because not all layers were turned on when the alignment was exectuted.  I believe the behavior of the Alignment tool needs to be made safer, such that when the user applies the "switch selection" it applies to all fabric type data in the surrounding region of the parcel, regardless of whether or not the layers are turned on or not in the map.   This is where I disagree, I may not want the other layers in my fabric affected by an alignment in an unrelated layer. The parcel joining functionality in the ArcMap fabric was top tier compared to Align Parcels available in Pro. Every time I use Align Parcels I have to check against last year's data to make sure I didn't move boundaries that didn't need to be shifted. This is rough and getting to be unusable.   ... View more
