Append Parcels (Parcel)

Summary

Appends parcels from an input parcel fabric to a target parcel fabric. If the input parcel fabric is a parcel fabric layer with selected polygons, the corresponding parcel features will be appended.

Usage

• Parcel types in the input parcel fabric must match the parcel types in the target parcel fabric.

• The schema of the input parcel fabric must match the schema of the target parcel fabric. User-added attribute fields should exist on the same parcel feature classes for both the input and target parcel fabric.

• Duplicate parcel fabric records will not be created. Record geometry in the target parcel fabric will be updated with the geometry of matching records from the input parcel fabric. Record attributes in the target parcel fabric will be updated with record attributes from the input 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 appended. Parcels can be built after data has been appended.

• Parcel lines and points cannot be appended as stand-alone features using this tool. Use the Append tool to append parcel line or point features.
