This is the first time I've heard of the convert coord not tool. After an hour of online research, before I posted my ques, I'd not found any mention of the tool. I'd still be hung up without Dan and Neil's replies. After several tries here's the procedure that worked for me: I projected a blank arcmap to GCS North Amer 83 - I added in my point fc, NAD83 Stateplane Ok, feet - I set the tool up as follows: thank all of you who advised me ...

One of our co workers spent a couple hours making lecture choice edits to the agenda planner, only to have it crash and lose all of her edits. I suggest creating a excel spreadsheet table to enter your conference schedule. ... View more

Sol, My team has enough of these split by acreage tasks that I should try the parcel fabric method you fellows suggested. I've used it before. You're right: are the amount of steps to set up the fabric for each one of these polys a gain over just trial and error using your suggestions of the meas and edit sketch tool? I wonder if there a precise, discreet, way to add vertices on a line, like a distance, as we can with the cogo functionality. I'm going to look at that, as well as try the parcel fabric suggestion after work, today. I'll get back to you however it works out. It was important for me to get your opinion to verify there was not a really easier way to accomplish this. So, not having something directly in mind is helpful to my team. I'm certainly grateful for your prompt response. Ken ... View more

Sol, I've been trying a combination of the measure tool & create edit tool w/ vertices depicted. Measurre tool snaps to the poly vertices, but does not seem to offer more control on the size. I guess I don't understand how you would use that combination to create an exact 2-ac chunk, without a lot of trial and error. Ken ... View more

Chris, I didn't think of using parcel editor. these polys are not in a parcel fabric, but I'll try to use the parcel editor toolbar Ken ... View more

Sol,   Thinking about your symmetrical response made me understand what you mean. besides doing a symmetrical split, could I set the approx part of the original poly to split, like specifying the north end where I want a 2 ac split  out of the 6-ac poly I show in my screen capture? ... View more

sorry, I didn't add text to that screen capture reply. Yes, you're correct the polys are not symmetrical; the splits may need to happen for just an unequal  part of the poly. The selected poly in the screen capture is 6.00 acres. I need to manually split it into 2- 3.0 acre polys. ... View more

Ian, thanks for the prompt response and interest in helping me. I want to split the selected 6.00 ac poly into 2, each of exactly 3.0 acres. I don't have many to do, so I don't need to automate. I'm using an advanced level license. I'm creating water rights maps for the Churchill County, Nv area.  ... View more

Wow, pretty fast response. No, I don't have so many that I need to automate the process. I can do it manually. ... View more

After querying my friend, Preston Denney, Churchill county, nevada, gis analyst, I can answer this question. Use the cogo traverse wizard to create a straight segment before the curve segment - select  tangent curve: for the first box  Angle = 3-50-20  for the box to the right Radius= 9950' check right or left [the add button should be active, allowing you to proceed Thanks to Preston ...

I'd like to refine my question. Disregarding a RoS map basis of bearing, can anyone tell me how to, simply, rotate a cogo'd drawing, using my own bearing or, alternatively, rotating by holding two points, outside of Parcel Editor? Ken ... View more
