During a client visit this past week, an engineer explained that he used parcels to show drainage breakup areas on his siteplan. He asked if there was an possible way to give the parcel lines a width similar to the options we would get with polylines. He was looking to make the parcel lines standout from the rest of the data on the page. Traditionally in parcels, the only way to make them stand out was to simply change the color to plot with a thicker lineweight. After thinking about what options are available, I decided to look further at the settings in parcel styles.
Looking a bit further at the design tab, you will notice the fill distance option as seen in the screen capture below.
I decided that since we can't give parcel lines a width, why don't we make a solid hatch and use the fill distance to replicate a line with a width.
Sometimes a different approach is required to get us to the solution.
