Skyler,the “Value Info” column of the table.
Skyler,
Yes, you can do this using the Attribute Assistant Add-in. Follow the instructions on installing the Add-In. You will need to configure the “Dynamic Value Table” and add it to your map document. The way the Add-in works, is that it listens for certain events (On Create, On Change (Attributes), On Change (Geometry), Manual Only) and executes the methods specified in the “Value Info” column of the table.
For example, let’s assume your ArcMap parcel fabric is named ParcelFabric.
- Then the polygon feature class would be named ParcelFabric_Parcels.
- The Plan Table would be named ParcelFabric_Plans.
- The attribute on the parcels table is named AFN
- The attribute on the Plans table is AuditorFileNumber
The plans are related to the parcels via OBJECTID (Plans table) and PlanID (Parcels Table). So the record in your Dynamic Value table would be:
Table Name: ParcelFabric_Parcels|Tax Parcels
Field Name: AFN
Value Method: COPY_LINKED_RECORD
Value Info: ParcelFabric_Plans| AuditorFileNumber |PlanID|OBJECTID
On Create: True
On Change (Attribute): False
On Change (Geometry): False
Manual Only: True
Rule Weight: 1
Comments:
What this does is tell the Add-in when features are created for Tax Parcels, Go to the plan table and copy the value in the “AuditorFileNumber” column into the Parcel table into the attribute name “AFN”.
If you also want this to occur for Subdivision, and lots and units, add another entry that specifies the layer names. E.g. ParcelFabric_Parcels| Lots and Units
The add-in is powerful, you can use it to generate unique IDs, Grab attributes from other features (Point in polygon) and concatenate fields together.
Hope this helps.
