Summary
Creates a parcel fabric layer from an input parcel fabric. The parcel fabric layer that is created by the tool is temporary and will not persist after the session ends unless the document is saved. This tool is needed if you want a parcel fabric sublayer to participate in a geoprocessing model.
Usage
The sublayers of the output parcel fabric layer can be used as input to any geoprocessing tool that accepts a feature class as input and produces output that is derived from the input feature class. Derived output does not modify the input dataset.
The temporary parcel fabric layer and the sublayers can be saved as layer files.
An existing layer will be overwritten if the same name is entered and if you explicitly state that overwriting output is allowed.
Syntax
arcpy.fabric.MakeParcelFabricLayer(in_parcel_fabric, parcel_fabric_layer)
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_parcel_fabric | The parcel fabric dataset that will be used to create the parcel fabric layer. | Parcel Fabric Layer |
parcel_fabric_layer | The output parcel fabric layer. | Parcel Fabric Layer |
