Parcels tables are created from parcel segment labels.

Parcel segment labels are converted to table tags.

  1. Select parcel area label onscreen.

  2. Parcel contextual ribbon tab > Labels & Tables panel > Add Tables drop-down > Add Line

    1. In resulting Table Creation dialog box, select green, Pick On-Screen button.

    2. Cursor becomes pick-box. Select all parcel segment labels in drawing window you'd like included in table to be created.

      Tip:

      Or, in the Select by label or style: portion of the dialog box, select the styles of the already existing parcel segment labels you'd like to include in your table. If segment labels using that style exist in your drawing, they will automatically be added to the table when the OK button is selected when executing the table creation command after filling out the rest of the dialog box.

      The four table types (four table commands) available in the Add Tables drop-down are Add Line, Add Curve, Add Segment, and Add Area. Add Line and Add Curve create tables consisting of only those segment types, respectively. Add Segment creates tables with both line and curve segments included. Add Area creates tables consisting of, for instance, every overall parcel name and its area in square feet and/or acres.

    3. Select table layer or accept default WisDOT object layer for tables.
    4. Choose to split table after specifying number of rows allowed per table, or tables per table stack, to be created.
    5. Choose an offset distance between tables as they are placed in drawing window if multiple tables are being created simultaneously due to choice made in split table option.
    6. Choose how tables are to be tiled/arranged onscreen if multiple tables are being created simultaneously due to choice made in split table option.
    7. Choose whether tables will be Static (unchanging), or Dynamic (automatically updated) if underlying parcel segment data is edited.
    8. OK
  3. As a test, if your table was made to be dynamic in the preceding steps, select a parcel segment onscreen that is included in the table, select one of its grips, change length of parcel segments by moving grip associated with vertex grip. Observe table update with new parcel segment lengths and/or area.
