I agree. It is also strange that the LGIM schema I downloaded reflects the dictionary in that it does not use the lrParcelType domain. Also confusing, the dictionary included in the zipped file does show the lrParcelType domain in the domain glossary at the end of the dictionary, even though no feature classes in the downloaded LGIM use it.
Anyhow, in the mean time I will work on building a stand alone PF, as that method seems to correctly use the domains. No to mention, I can always append the fabric into the LGIM schema fabric.
Thank you again, Anna!
