Viewing parcels in projected (map) vs. local coordinate systems

This topic applies to ArcEditor and ArcInfo only.

Parcels can be edited in the projected map coordinate system or in a local coordinate system.

To edit parcels in a local coordinate system, check the View and edit parcels individually in a local coordinate system option on the Parcel Editor Options dialog box.

View and edit parcels in a local coordinate system.

Editing parcels against the projected map is beneficial when a background frame of reference is needed, for example, a natural boundary on an orthophoto.
