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.

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).
