All you need to know about parcel fabric records: What is a record? Does a record have a geometry? Why? When does the geometry get updated? When does the geometry not get updated? Can I extend the records' attributes? Can I assign a domain to the record type? How to automate record creation? Can I delete records? Where can I manage my records? Can I change the name of the records feature class?

@MichaelVolz All geometries in a geodatabase are 'active geometries'. Build Active will create polygons from a closed loop of lines and a parcel seed that are associated with the active record. The resulting polygon should match the input source data - meaning that you should not get any topology errors if you were to validate topology. Did you already submit a case for tech support? If not - please do. If yes - please provide the case number. From your screenshot, it is hard to tell: - The zoom level (a display artifact) - If the input geometries are valid (GP Check Geometry can help with that) - The nature of the error (those layers look like publication layers and not editing layers) - The version of software you are using (Pro and Server) Thanks, Amir

@MohamedIsmael FWIW (For What It's Worth) If you use the parcel fabric, every parcels has a 'Stated Area' field and a 'Stated Area Unit' field. When you merge parcels together: The areas are summed taking into account the different area units of the source parcels. The result will be reflected using the default area units of the project. you can see the summed area in the merge pane before pressing merge. The merged parcels become historic (they are not deleted) Q. Can a 'parcel' be used for buildings or units within a building? A. Yes - many customers use the parcel fabric to model their condominium units, which is a type of conveyance division. We call those 'strata parcels' and can make them 'floor aware'. The Merge workflow is documented: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/parcel-editing/mergeparcelsworkflow.htm

@AyanPalit the versioning workflow shown in the video uses Branch versioning. You can use tasks to automate both types of versioning.

With ArcGIS Pro 3.4 and above, you can use tasks to call versioning commands. Many of the versioning commands are embedded and can be pre-configured.

Make sure to configure your units properly before you start editing. These are the places to configure for parcel editing

The COGO Reader tool reads and extracts COGO dimensions from Deeds. Instead of manually entering COGO dimensions for hours, you can extract and review the COGO measurements in a matter of minutes. COGO Reader is designed for US deeds that contain metes-and-bounds descriptions written in English. This session covered: How to read OCGO and create parcels How to review the extracted dimensions and misclose How to fix failed OCR to improve COGO extraction How to use the traverse for deeds that were partially extracted How to create a parcel fabric in 5 minutes and start using COGO Reader Providing feedback COGO Reader road map Q&A

This video demonstrates how to use Python to automate data migration to the parcel fabric. This is the code used in the script import arcpy
PFName = "ParcelFabric"
ParcelSourceData = "./Parcels.SHP" # source polygons in current directory
SR = arcpy.Describe(ParcelSourceData).spatialReference # retrieve the spatial reference of source data
FGDB = arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management("./", "Staging.gdb") # create a file geodatabase in current directory
FDS = arcpy.CreateFeatureDataset_management(FGDB, "ParcelEditing", SR) # Create a feature dataset using the spatial reference
#Create Schema
PF = arcpy.CreateParcelFabric_parcel(FDS, PFName) # Creating a new parcel fabric
(PF, Parcels, Lines) = arcpy.AddParcelType_parcel(PF, "Parcels") # adding a parcel type
arcpy.AddField_management(Parcels, "RecordName",'TEXT') # Adding a field for the record name that is used for records creation
# Append Data
arcpy.management.Append(ParcelSourceData, Parcels, "NO_TEST") # appending source data to parcel polygons
arcpy.edit.SimplifyByStraightLinesAndCircularArcs(Parcels, "0.5 Meters", "FIT_TO_VERTICES",
"CREATE", 20, 4, "1 Meters", "10000 Meters", 2, "PRESERVE", None) # Fit true curves
arcpy.CreateParcelRecords_parcel(Parcels, "RecordName") # creating new parcel records
arcpy.BuildParcelFabric_parcel(PF) # building the parcel fabric

@SimonSchütte_ct Thanks for sharing. Do you use Whisper to enter metes and bounds descriptions? I ask because: Whisper takes as input voice recordings (wav files) - would users want to record themselves reading a deed and then process it? How would they specify DMS (Degrees - minutes - seconds) for directions? Would users be OK with dedicating 1 GB -10GB of RAM for this process? Whisper also requires the installation of other packages to work. Since COGO Reader can process a deed faster than reading it outload, I don't think that's a direction we'll be exploring anytime soon

This is a short video showing how easy it is to migrate to the parcel fabric from polygons (SHP files). ANYONE can follow these steps and migrate their data. This process is well documented here No more excuses Enjoy!

@BillFox We actually thought about that. You have providers like Google, Amazon and others that will turn voice to text, but they all require sending your data to the cloud and a paid subscription. We also experimented with AI, including the leading players, and found out: They all require you to send the deed to the cloud, which might create issues around IP for the deed and its use. It's a black box without a 'men in the loop' It never says "I don't know what to do" - instead it 'hallucinates' and provides a completely wrong answer It requires a paid subscription - would you pay for something that gives you wrong results and takes more time to review than entering the deed manually? That said, I agree - AI/ML will offer some opportunities, and we have implemented some parcel fabric capabilities with the ArcGIS Pro AI Assistant (not released yet).

@BillFox We implemented and released the COGO tools in ArcGIS Pro (like Traverse and COGO enabled feature classes) before releasing the parcel fabric. That was done in part because we know that COGO tools are used outside of land records to create geometries from measurements. For parcels (Land Records /Cadastre) this is the evolution of esri technology: The parcel fabric offers many advantages, some of which are: Parcel lineage and historic parcels All records are associated with their legal source (record) - they are defendable. Tools that make data entry more efficient (like COGO Reader, but not only) Tools that help you identify quality issues in your data Tools that let you fix common quality issues in your data Ability to evaluate and improve spatial accuracy over time Ability to use web services: view and edit parcels from any type of client, not only desktop. 4D - ability to view the data as it was in historic moments in time. ... Coverages and ArcStorm are examples of great technology for that time. We also get nostalgic for a good BUILD and CLEAN 🙂 We do not prevent organizations from managing their land records outside the parcel fabric, but we consider those types of solutions as custom solutions. Most customers, however, prefer COTS and configuration over a custom solution. If you are attending the UC we will love to talk with you in person.
