Best practices for deed re-building?

[dgarcia7]

Hello all, I am working on drawing lot boundaries from original deeds for a 6 mile long sanitary line. Right now, I am just drawing the lots in a general area as a closed polyline and defining each lot as a parcel so that I can store the owner info. Later, after the survey, we are going to move the lots to their exact locations based on the found pins.

My question is based on the fact, that when I go to move a parcel, I lose all the data in the Parcel list. Because of this, I am wondering if I am going about things the completely wrong way. Anyone have any suggestions for doing this better? The area I am working in is a mix of rural and urban developement with approximately 375 deeds to hand build.

Thanks in advance,

-David

If the only think you're using the Parcel for is to store the owner info.
You could just make it MText and group it with the lot lines. Or you could
use a Hyperlink and either put the info in the text field and attach an
empty text file or attach a file with the information in it. You can also
attach files through Maps Define Document View.

Since C3D includes MAP you could attach it as object data. Then later label
the parcels using an annotation template. Or if you already have the
information in a database you could attach only the tax parcel # and link to
the database.

If you're layering standards allow you could also create the parcels on
layer equivalent to their TL #.

There are probably other choices too. Since you know you will lose the data
on the move you should use some other method.
