Summary
Adds a parcel type to a parcel fabric. A parcel type is defined by a separate polygon and line feature class. Parcel type feature classes are controlled by the parcel fabric dataset.
Parcels are stored in the parcel fabric as parcel types. Examples of parcel types are ownership parcels, administrative parcels, and subdivision parcels.
Usage
In a map, parcel types are added as group layers. The group layer contains the parcel polygon layer, the parcel line layer, and historic sublayers.
On an enterprise geodatabase, the input parcel fabric must be from a database connection established as the database parcel fabric owner.
The connected ArcGIS Enterprise portal account must be the parcel fabric owner.
The parcel fabric topology must be disabled.
On an enterprise geodatabase, this tool should be executed when connected to the default version.
