Copy Parcels (Parcel)—ArcGIS Pro

Summary

Copies parcels from an input parcel fabric to a new parcel fabric in a new feature dataset.

The output parcel fabric will have the same schema as the input parcel fabric. All attribute fields, parcel types, subtypes, domains, and rules will be copied to the new parcel fabric.
If the input parcel fabric layer has selected polygons, all corresponding parcel features and parcel records will be appended. This includes any connection lines that are connected to parcel points.
If the input parcel fabric has missing parcel lines or points, the parcel polygons will still be copied. Parcels can be built after data has been copied.
Parcel lines and points cannot be copied as stand-alone features using this tool. Use the Copy Features tool to copy parcel line and point features.
If the input parcel fabric has attribute rules that reference feature classes or tables that are not part of the parcel fabric, these rules will not be copied. Use the Copy tool to copy the contents of a feature dataset.
If the input parcel fabric is a feature service and has attribute rules that reference database sequences that are not exposed in the feature service workspace, these rules will not be copied. Connect in client-server mode to copy these rules.
Related tables and feature classes that are not controlled by the parcel fabric will not be copied to the output parcel fabric. Use the Copy tool to copy the contents of a feature dataset.
The output feature dataset is created as unversioned.

CopyParcels example (Python window)

The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the CopyParcels function in immediate mode.

import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/data"
arcpy.parcel.CopyParcels('CountyFabric', "C:/Parcels/Database.gdb")

This tool does not use any geoprocessing environments.
