You can create as many parcel fabric layers as you need. Steps: In ArcMap select a layer --> Right click and 'Save as Layer File' Press the add data and add the layer file (*.LYR) Change the layer properties: name, definition query, symbology, editing templates, labeling... While the layer will not show up as part of the composite group layer, you can treat it as any other layer. Amir ... View more

The parcel workflows require the local government editing solution map as well as the local government information model. In the catalog window right click on the parcel fabric --> Enable information model. Then drag and drop the parcel fabric into an empty map. Assuming you have calculated the 'type' field on your parcels you should see parcels in your map. The parcel workflows should work now. Amir ... View more

Hello Raj et al, I would recommend using a parcel fabric. Every polygon has it's own set of lines and you will get many more benefits from it. The Land Records meetup has a whole session about printing maps using Data Driven Pages and dynamic elements (once you are a member open this page). After you watch the technical session you can download the Tax Parcel Map Book that is a part of the solution and use it as template. Everything you are trying to do can be achieved without writing any code and in a couple of hours (excluding layout design) Please also note that any dimension you show on the line converted from the polygon will be the inversed geometry using the GRID (projection) spatial reference that will not match the actual distance on the ground nor the legal document. If you want to do this correctly you have to use the parcel editing tools and a parcel fabric that are part of ArcGIS Desktop. Amir ... View more

Thanks Richard This is a known issue we plan to fix for 1.2. In the meantime the workaround is not to embed the merge dialog. Same workaround applies to other modify editing panes. Amir ... View more

There is no such option in the topology loading tool. You can use other GP tools prior to loading the data (on simple feature classes) or use the interactive tool  'Merge Courses' that works on selected parcels ... View more

Hello Nate, From the parcel editor toolbar drop down click 'Options'. Under the advanced tab you can change the 'Build parcels behavior' to 'Merge connected lines at points where there is no bend' Amir ... View more

Tasks, like other project items in Pro do not have an OK button. Saving the project would save the task (just like saving changes to your map). You can always undo and roll back design operation. Clicking on the Task Designer 'X' dialog button does closes the pane (just like any other pane) While we feel using tasks is very intuitive and requires very little training (if at all), designing a task requires good knowledge of the workflow and the software.

Hello Michael, When you enter a parcel there is a button that you can turn on/off (toggle) that is called Measurement View. If it is pressed it will show you the parcel based on its measurements (as it looked before joining / floating). You can press this button on and off and see the difference between the geometry after joining and before joining, which usually depends on the joining method you used. The record measurements never change, even if / when the geometry changes. Vertices / segments should not disappear during the join process. Please contact technical support with your case to have someone look at it and determine if there is a bug in the software / data issue / training issue. Thanks, Amir ... View more

Hello Alicia, I assume your question relates to a data migration workflow. If you create your data from legal documents ("from scratch") I would recommend you start from the most spatially accurate layer towards the least accurate. If you most accurate data is road center lines it is perfectly OK to start with it and there is documentation on how to import "un-closed parcel'. If you have trusted control points they are also great to have imported. Amir ... View more

ArcGIS 10.3 exposes the option to merge courses on build (off by default). The registry key is no longer needed. ... View more

In short: 'No'. Tasks in ArcGIS Pro are designed for interactive workflows. A step in a task can call a geoprocessing tool \ model \ script. Tasks and Geoprocessing tools compliment each other. Unlike GP models, a step in a task can also call any command \ Add-in. Tasks are interactive, where Geoprocessing and Add-ins can be used for automation Tasks are designed to improve efficiency, promote best practices and guide new users.

Hi Jeff, Why not transition to stacked geometries and have 1:1 relationship between the parcel and the unit? In that case you can use the duplicate tool and update the floor number automatically. This can also allow you to display it in 3D. Thoughts? Amir ... View more

All you need to do is create a new Parcel Fabric and make it LGIM enabled.  To get the MXD just drag and drop it into an empty map. This is fully documented in the software help and if you need any assistance you can calll tech support or find recorded presentations\demos in the Land Records meetup - http://www.meetup.com/Esri-Land-Records-Meet-Up/ Amir ...

We are wroking closly with a few states to define the workflows to maintain PLSS data. This may include normal section subdivision, elongated sections, sections with natural boundaries. One the workflows are deined  the can potentially become a set of  tools \ series of tool streamlined together. ... View more

I am happy to hear the performance issue was resolved when the spatial index was fixed. If you see any performance issues please submit a tech. support. As for the spatial reference, it seems like the error message was valid. I suspect something has changed on the spatial reference string in 10.3 because nothing has changed on the Cadastral XML. Another thing to consider is to select all the edited parcel in the FGDB and use the GP tool Append Parcel Fabric to the enterprise geodatabase. If you need you can also append them as unjoined and go through the joining process. Amir ... View more
