Use the Parcel Layout Tools toolbar to create parcels.

The toolbar provides two types of parcel creation tools:

Freehand tools draw parcels as a network of lines, curves, and polylines.
Precise sizing tools control the angles and directions of lot lines.

You can also set default values for the parcel sizing parameters and the Automatic Layout options.

Tip

Object Snap can be very useful when creating parcels, especially with the freehand tools. Use Object Snap to attach lines exactly to existing endpoints and vertices.

Note

Using the layout tools is the only activity possible while the Parcel Layout Tools toolbar is open.
