@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.   ... View more

This webinar will be dedicated to COGO Reader. We will also show how easy it is to migrate your existing data to the parcel fabric (it only takes a few minutes) You are welcome to join https://www.meetup.com/esri-parcel-fabric-meet-up/events/308788324/?eventOrigin=group_events_list   ... View more

@DeanAnderson2  - well done Yes - Attribute Rules can also delete rows in another table. This is an interesting use case (keeping a list of cancelled parcel numbers). I wonder if this is applicable to many other counties in the US. Maybe something to consider @ChrisBuscaglia  ... View more

@JamesMoy  - welcome to the community. The best would be to contact esri technical support and provide the failing deeds with the chord bearing. We are already fixing a few issues that have to do with curve extraction and that will help us make sure we covered Georgia. COGO Reader is for the US only ... View more

@LukeRipple Can you please confirm: You are using the parcel fabric You can see the feature templates visible in the Create Features pane? ... View more

@HeatherHanson  COGO Reader does support non-tangent curves. But in some states/descriptions are written differently and COGO Reader fails to process them. The best thing you can do is contact technical support and provide a few examples of deeds with non-tangent curves that fail to process. If this occurs a lot, we can consider adding it to one of the 3.5 patches, once fixed.  ... View more

@ClayNorris  I have tested the suggested workflow  - it works. Here is how I did it - does this meet your requirements?   ... View more

@GIS-Chops  In general, we only create parcel tools for tools that are specific to parcels and leverage existing editing tools as much as possible. The editing tools (such as merge, clip, divide, etc.) can exhibit different behavior when parcels are being processed, making it easier for new editors to learn and edit parcels. So would something like this work?         ... View more

@ClayNorris  Changing an attribute does not create a duplicate historic parcel. FWIW - if you are using ArcGIS Enterprise, branch versioning allows you to view historic moments in time. For example: you can have 2 maps side by side, one pointing to the current time and one to an historic moment.   As for your workflow here is a shorter version: 1. Create record. 2. Select parcel. 3. Duplicate parcel 4. "Set Historic" the source parcel If you do a lot of those, you can consider using a task that will automate this process. ... View more

@ClayNorris  The workflow is (if I understand it correctly): Create a new active record for the quit claim Select the parcel or parcels that need to be retired and press the Set Historic button Does this work for you? ... View more
