Create/edit parcels

Parcels created from an object is the preferred method for parcel creation. A parcel can be created from lines, polylines, and arcs, and these need to be connected/snapped at the endpoints to create a closed boundary.

1. Using polyline command to create an object.

   1. Ribbon > Home tab > Draw panel > Polyline

      Tip: Have object snap set to Node only to make selection easier.

   2. Specify start point: Select node for start point and continue to each node to create perimeter of object.
   3. To close object: Select final node or type "C" in the command line to auto-snap to starting node and Enter.
   4. Create a second smaller object, repeating steps A - C, attached to first object. Node snap last point to close.
   5. Home tab > Create Design panel > Parcel dropdown > Create Parcel from Objects
