About Parcel Properties

Edit parcel properties to work with styles and other basic parcel attributes.

You can edit the properties of a single parcel, or a group of parcels. In each case, you can change the parcel style, area label style, and user defined properties such as parcel number and address.

Properties control everything about a parcel except its segment label styles. A site parcel has an additional property that specifies the display order of parcels within the site, including the site parcel itself.

Some typical editing tasks are as follows:

• Replace a parcel’s style, which governs the appearance of the parcel itself.
• Replace a parcel’s area label style, which governs the appearance of its area label and the information displayed in the label.
• View information about the parcel segments.
• Specify the parcel’s Point Of Beginning, which is the parcel boundary’s initial node (start point of its initial segment).
• Renumber parcels to reset their starting and increment values and/or rename a parcel based on the parcel name template.
• Change parcel display order to set the properties of shared segments (such as color) when the two parcels sharing it have different properties.

Edit parcel properties by right-clicking a parcel area label in the drawing, or by right-clicking a parcel in Toolspace on the Prospector tab (or a Parcels collection for a site parcel).
