It would certainly be nice to be able to employ a script that can pull newly collected control from our SDE database. I am curious why the schemas for the cadastral reference and for parcel fabric control are so much different when they both are part of the same info model (LGIM). I'm wondering the same thing about field mapping; is there an easier way to do this, rather than using a staging gdb to change the fields? Is there a script for publishing or preparing control from the cadastral reference for use in the fabric? I must be missing something. Justin McCulloch GIS Analyst Wood County, OH

I know this has been addressed in the Meetups already, but I can't seem to find the right video; is there a resource or trick to drawing circles in the fabric when editing? When I create two equal parts (ex: S0E 70(rad) 140(chord), N0W, 70(rad), 140(chord)) the COGO in the parcel details dialogue always inverts the curve and I am left with just an overlapping curved line. Like this...) Is there anyone or anything that can help explain circles a little better, or even curves in general? Justin

Hey, With regard to the parcel fabric, does anyone know a way to have the Parcel Remainder tool automatically set the symbology template value for the newly created 'Historical' parcels to something other than 'Unaccounted'. It would be nice if I could get historical parcels to automatically be set as 'Retired Tax Parcels', since 90% of the time that's what they are. I'm not sure if this is the type of thing anyone else has endeavored to do, but it would make the workflow that much faster for our editors. On the same topic, I would like to be able to get other fields to automatically update as well. For 'legal start date' and 'legal end date' we use the date of transfer, which is almost always also the recording date. Well, since we punch the legal start date into the new parcel construction and then typically run a remainder on the parent parcel(s), it would be convenient if the 'legal start date' value for the new parcel was carried over to the 'legal end date' field for the historical parcel that gets created during the remainder. Let me know if any of you folks have had the same inclination as me. Regards, Justin McCulloch Wood County Ohio Auditor's Office

Thanks Betty, I actually already worked this out, but your post was informative. Justin

Hey Folks, I'm wondering if anyone is currently using a land-hooks feature class in their fabric geodatabase. We had a layer in our old taxmap and I am looking for an easy way to bring in the geometry. Any ideas? Justin McCulloch

Hey thanks, I will give it a try on a copy of my fabric next week and let you know what I find. Also, I thought I heard there was an add-in that is literally called "Delete Orphan Points." If anyone has info. on this tool let me know. Justin McCulloch

I have heard about a tool that will remove orphaned points from my fabric dataset. Where can I find this tool and how does it work? Justin McCulloch

Hey Folks, I don't normally have to deal with changing my 'basis of bearing' but I just went to do it and noticed my "General" tab is missing from the Parcel Editor/Options, leaving me no way to view my parcels in a local coordinate system. Is this an installation error or what? Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Justin McCulloch Wood County Auditor's GIS

Hey All, Here�??s a question for others who have had experience with a sometimes troubling join process. Has anyone else had problems with properly joined parcels being �??dislodged�?� from their desired location in the fabric after reopening them? This happens to me only if I save a change I have made, but I commonly need to do this when adding a plan to an existing parcel. The only way I know (to add a plan) is to reopen the parcel and use the plan dropdown to choose the appropriate plan. I have tried to add a plan in other ways, but it seems you are not able to just edit the �??PlanID�?? filed manually in the parcel �??Attributes�?? window (or in the Tax Parcels attribute table) after creating your desired plan. This is especially frustrating (and common) when reopening a parcel containing a curve. The thing is, even when I try to rejoin the parcel, I can never get it to rejoin correctly without some gap or overlap being created. Justin McCulloch Wood County, OH

Depending on the County/State you live in it shouldn't be too hard to obtain some more recent aerial imagery to help you along with the digitization process. Try asking your local county government for a copy of their aerials; they should usually be able to copy them over to a DVD (possibly for a price). If you have already tried asking your local county office for their ortho-imagery, check to see if there is a state website dedicated to disseminating geographic information of this kind. In Ohio, there is statewide imagery available at the OGRIP website: http://ogrip.oit.ohio.gov/ Good Luck! Justin McCulloch

I have also run across this problem. It would also be nice to have an option to transfer the new COGO attributes to the older curve value for the adjacent parcel (assuming they are supposed to be the same). Another thing is, if you are joining one single unbroken curve to several smaller curves from multiple adjacent parcels, it would be difficult to get a proper gapless join. There may be a need for a new workflow around this problem. Justin McCulloch Wood County GIS

This is something I have been wanting to post for awhile now. When doing a parcel remainder especially, it would save time to have a dropdown option to transfer the PIN from a parent to the child, or maybe even a list of options populated from PINs within the extent of the data frame. The reality is 90% of the time the piece bieng split out will get a new number, but the remainder will retain an old PIN. Without this option it is too easy to overlook a remainder (or multiple remainders) that have been set to 000.000.000.000. This is a no brainer.

Hi John, Thanks for the response, but no, we are using a File Geodatabase to edit the fabric. It is being kept on the network rather than my hard drive, but the setup is the same as it was with 10.0SP3 with fewer performance issues. The only thing that seems to have changed is the software, database, and fabric upgrades. Thanks, Justin

I'm curious to know if any other editors have had performance issues when working with a parcel fabric in 10.1. It seems like any edits I make have to process for an exceptionally long amounty of time, and definitely longer than when I was editing in 10.0 SP3. Also when joining, creating the links with the dragbox is painfully slow, whereas the Trace link tool is quite speedy. Side note: The "Follow This Feature" tool in the annotation context menu seems to have a bug and crashes the program every time. Justin McCulloch GIS Technician Wood County, OH

Hey Chris, Thanks for posting on this thread. It helps me to know the 'stated area' field isn't calculated based off of our existing data in the fabric, but off of the new COGO data. Since our legal acreage is never exactly the same as the calculated 'stated area' value we may just follow your advice and overwrite this field with our number. I'm looking forward to 10.1 it sounds like it resolves alot of the issues I have been seeing. Also, having the ability to add and then move fields around within the parcel details dialogue will come in handy and enhance our workflow. Have a great day, Justin McCulloch GIS Technician Auditor's Office Wood County, OH
