The only storytelling template that has a spash screen currently is the storytelling tabbed one. And you are right, it's very basic in terms of the text. It doesn't support carriage returns. The storytelling text and legend template, while it doesn't have a spash screen, displays the description of the map. In this case, the text formatting is preserved. If you know a bit of programming, you could download the template and customize it. You'd have to then host it on your own web server. Thanks, Mike So Mike in the instance that one downloads the code for a storytelling web app and customizes it to suit their needs the only way to host that customized application is on a web server?  We would not be able to load it up into the cloud if we have an organizational subscription?  Thanks. ...

This issue keeps rearing is ugly head for me time and time again. This really makes no sense. Our fabric is in SDE but is not versioned and I am the only one editing it right in default. I 'commit' all my jobs in default, then unjoin a certain group of parcels and there you go, here is this error message. This really makes no sense. I cannot reconcile with default, obviously, because it is not versioned. Has there been a resolution to this yet? ... View more

Nick, Thanks for your post. I'm looking for different examples of spirals in platted documents, so that we can work on design and specifications for supporting these in a future release. I will contact you directly via e-mail to see if you can share some of these examples. If there are others that would like to contribute please also attach your example to this thread. Thanks, -Tim Hey Tim, Sorry this took so long, I've been really busy around here.  Here are a few examples... ... View more

We have chosen not incorporate PLSS into fabric because we view it as purely representational.  We seperate PLSS as its own FC that is not in Fabric.  Can you please tell me why you have decided to include PLSS.  I am not questioning your process but just want to understand why you would build PLSS into the fabric.  I am aware that the type exists for PLSS (T&R and Section, etc) but we have found that the only data we need to record in Fabric are Assessor specific (Tax Parcels, Lots, ROW, etc). Hey Carlos, We are carrying the PLSS info. in our fabric for two reasons.  The first being that we incorporate land records information beyond our corporate limits (city limits) which often result in larger tracts which just refer to Quarter Section and Section lines in deeds that provide no legal.  Secondly, we feel as though carrying the PLSS data in the fabric will provide an extra layer or two of redundency for least-squares adjustments, particularyly around the edges of our mapping extent. ...

Interesting. A couple things changed at SP2 in regards to selection.  The Parcel Selection tool now displays the selection chip for a single-click selection.  This helps when trying to select one of multiple-stacked parcels.  This was enhanced to support Parcel Fabric users that have multiple parcel types in the Fabric, and should be seen as an enhancement (hopefully).  The second thing is that the Parcel Selection tool will work the same as the standard edit tool.  This prevents you from having to continuously switch back and forth between tools just to make selections.  The select-ability of layers should be controlled by the 'List by Selection' button on the TOC. I've attached a screenshot for the "selection chip" showing its importance.  The screenshot shows the Lot/Tax Parcel phenomena, where you need to only edit the tax parcels, but you also selected the lots.  This also works in the Subdivision, lot, tax parcel scenario, or wherever else you may have multiple parcel types stacked. David, the issue that you mention seems to be data specific, I will take a look to see if I can reproduce.  I was unable to reproduce this behavior on a series of sample datasets including the tutorial data. Chris Parcel Editing Team Hey Chris, You know what, now that I have read your explanation I have to agree with the parcel selector being used this way.  I cannot tell you how many times I've had to open the parcel explored window just to select the parcel type I've wanted to edit, so yes, good job on that one! ...

As a graduate student I've been exploring the conversion of existing legacy paper CSM's into arcmap. I've never worked with parcels or CSM's before so its really a first step situation. Having just started poking around in 10, I see that there is a parcel tool bar as well as cogo. I have no background in either. lol It seems to me that the help files and tutorials assume users will be EDITING an existing dataset and working with existing parcels shapefiles and databases VS. creating parcels and database from scratch. At this point I'm not sure where to start.  Does anybody have some wise advise as to how to get started the correct way? Thanks JP Hey Jason, I recently started a project similar to yours around 6 months ago for our organization.  Depending on your project objectives, the best place I suggest starting is to first design/develop your database model and then load a survey control network (points) to start with and then go for it!  The fabric environment is really quite simple, particularly the cogo aspect, and off you go! ...
