To Change Parcel Display Order

Display order affects the display of all parcel segments that are shared by two parcels of different styles. The style that is higher in the display order controls the actual display.

Edit the parcel style display order as a property of the site parcel, using the Composition Tab of the Site Parcel Properties dialog box. Access this dialog box by right-clicking either the site parcels area label or the Parcels collection in the Toolspace on the Prospector tab.

  2. Right-click and click Parcel Properties.
  3. In the Site Parcel Properties dialog box, click the Composition tab.
  4. On the Composition tab, under Parcel Style Display Order, change the list positions of styles listed there.
