Applying Parcel Style Display order
It's quite common for adjacent parcels to share one or more segments. If the
adjacent parcels have different styles assigned to them, you can control which
style is used for the shared segments via the Site Parcel Properties dialog box.
To access this dialog box, right-click Parcels in Prospector and select Properties.
The Parcel Style Display Order list is displayed on the Composition tab, as shown
in Figure 13.2. When two different styles are used for adjacent parcels, the style
that is higher in this list is assigned to the shared segments. You can control
the result for the shared segments by using the arrow keys, or by dragging and
dropping the style names to change the order of the list.
FiGuRE 13.2
Parcel Style Display Order shown in the
Site Parcel Properties dialog box
Typically you'll want certain types of parcel line styles to always override others.
For example, right-of-way lines are considered one of the most important bound-
aries in the drawing, so their style is often placed at the top of the list. As a result,
the color and linetype of the right-of-way lines are uninterrupted throughout the
drawing. On the other hand, the lot lines are considered one of the least impor-
tant, so their styles are typically placed at the bottom of the list.
