Hi Craig, Since there are many issues that can be related to DBMS (driver, version, permissions...) it might be a good idea to contact technical support. They can have a close look at your system and data while we can only guess. However, when you find the cause, it would be great if you share it with everybody. ... View more

We are planning to have an editing setting to define how curves are entered by default (e.g : Radius and Arclength, radius and chord...). Once this is implemented the traverse tool will honor that setting. Until then you can use the overrides for chord and central angle. If you want a COGO enabled line to store chord length and central angle in addition to the ArcLength you can use Attribute Rules Calculation rule on added fields. ... View more

Hi Mike, The name of the tool is Import Parcel Fabric Points. It is available since ArcGIS Pro 2.4 ... View more

Thanks for the input Mike. It aligns with our thoughts regarding importing CAD drawings that are entered in a local coordinate system and preserving their original measurements. Thanks for confirming the need to calculate curve information. Amir ... View more

No. If you have all the required geometries in the active record (lines), you can use 'Build Active'. For a 'bounds' land description, I would use Build Extent.  You can learn more here: Build parcels from lines—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation  ... View more

Jamal and all, Here is another capability of AtcGIS to explore: Link Charts (Pro 2.6 +) to get a graphical representation of parcel lineage. How?  From the Insert Tab -->  New Link Chart Add the parcel layer tp the map and make sure it has no definition queries (it has to show both current and historic parcels). Add Records and Parcels as entities: Define the relationships between records and parcels Modify the diagram using the Diagram ribbon tab: layout (hierarchy), labels, symbology: Can also access in the Contents pane: And get a link chart similar to this  in which Record A create parcel 1000 & 1001, then record B (merge) retired those parcels (in red dashed line) and created parcel 2000: This is experimental at this stage as it would probably not scale to show millions of parcels in a diagram, but can help us define what we want to see in the popup / Parcel Lineage interface.

Looping Daniel Stone‌ & Jeff Reinhart‌ as this is timely. Improving the CAD ingestion process to and out of parcels is one of our drivers, this includes digital submission. What type of CAD client to the surveyors use? (AutoCAD, Civil3D, other?) There is a tool called Update COGO - but as you know it does not have any COGO. There is another geoprocessing tool called Calculate Geometry Attributes (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation but you can only use it to calculate distances and directions (no curve support yet). Do you have curves in your data? Our goal is to improve the latter tool to support the calculation of curve parameters (radius, arclength, chord length...).  FYI - Tim Hodson‌ Ken Galliher‌ Drew Flater‌ Ghislain Prince‌ ...

Good point about the other 5000 users Lucas. Are they the type of users that do not use the traverse tool frequently? Are they surveyors like yourself? do they only use the residual to try to catch errors? I ask because if the data is homogeneous long courses will have bigger residuals in distance and shorter courses are likely to have bigger residuals in direction. ... View more

Looping Daniel Stone‌ and Amy Andis‌ Least Squares Adjustment in consistency Check mode can do a much better job to detect blunders and outliers for a given traverse. Would launching LSA from the traverse be better? We also plan to have new Quality Layers to help detect COGO issues in the Near Term. If the motivation is purely cartographic, we also have some ideas in that area to improve co-linearity (tangency) and orthogonality. ... View more

Thanks for submitting Mike, Could you please describe what type of COGO update you want? If this is an update of a single COGO value on a line you can use an update cursor. Or do you want to load lines as a traverse and distribute misclose? in that case wouldn't it be better to use the Least Squares Adjustment (available In ArcGIS Pro 2.6 and above)? ... View more
