I just had this exact same issue and it turned out I'd forgotten I was editing the same line feature class in ArcMap (long story, I have to edit my annotation in ArcMap for the time being since it's not compatible with Pro).  I think when there's no explanation or error code it's probably something like that. Wish there was an error code or a more descriptive message though. ... View more

>We do not recommend using multiple parcel fabrics for the same location as you run into the issue of misalignment between them. If you must edit the school districts in another geodatabase (for example - you give it to a contractor that edits it offsite), make sure the schemas match.   Yeah, okay. That's why I was asking for a tool. Not everyone has a whole team of people to answer phones and handle customer support, so unfortunately mistakes get made when it's one person. I will figure this out on my own. ... View more

I'm running into problems where a tool will fail (it's been several) because there's a null z value. I should be able to disable z values across the board if our organization doesn't use elevation/height values in our data. ... View more

@AmirBar-Maor this is made up but close to reality:   I have one school district worth of parcels in one parcel fabric and I added a parcel type for specific easements within that school district. I have another school district in a separate parcel fabric, and the phone rings or I have to switch tasks and fail to add that same easement type to that school district. When I go to append the parcels from one or the other, the append tool "fails successfully" in that it will append whatever it can without any indication that there is a problem with the append.  I have to be able to diagnose some of this on my own without relying on support.  edit: this could be an issue with the schema not matching too? I am honestly not sure since the results don't show me anything. In the past, I've used the export/append cadastral XML tools to append new parcels from a separate fabric. I start entering the new tax year subdivisions in a separate fabric well before including them in the main production fabric (strictly current tax year) so I don't get behind.  ... View more

Yes, it is Append Parcels. A list of appended parcels (preferably a number amount broken down by the parcel types, but even just a number amount) would be extremely helpful. ... View more

I am going to work on this and report back. I wasn't aware of that tool, thank you! ... View more

It's in a FGB on a network server. I haven't been able to figure out a way to do it with the existing tools and I've been hammering away at this all afternoon. ... View more

@FrankConkling that is my least favorite method. I'm at the point where I avoid using that tool. our parcels are 99.9999% constructed by metes and bounds descriptions so using the Copy Lines To function doesn't work quite right for that.  ... View more

@jcarlson, sorry! Unjoin would just move the selected parcel to a purgatory kind of space where it would still exist in the fabric (you could see it as a zero area polygon in the attribute table) but not be visible in the display. It was wonky and didn't always work well, but it was useful when it did work. ... View more

@jcarlson, for example just now I'm halfway done drawing in a new subdivision and haven't aligned anything yet. I stopped to set all the affected tax parcels historic before continuing and really wished I could have just unjoined my subdivision & lot polygons for a minute to clean up. Why not clean up beforehand? Because there's been a few times where the person who set up the new subdivision may have missed or added a parent parcel in error. ... View more
