Clip
- URL:https://<parcelfabricservice-url>/clip
- Required Capability:ArcGIS Parcel Fabric extension
- Version Introduced:10.8
Description
Clip is used when new parcels overlay and split existing, parent parcels to create remainder parcels. The areas of the parent parcels that are covered by the new parcels are removed or clipped and retired as historic. The areas that are remaining are the remainder parcels.
When clipping parcels without referencing a record, parcel history will not be tracked and parcels won't be associated to the records that created or retired them. When clipping parcels that are a different parcel type, parcel history will not be tracked.
Request parameters
Parameter | Details |
---|---|
gdbVersion | Parameter specifying the name of the geodatabase version (the default is the DEFAULT version). Syntax
|
sessionId | Parameter representing the token (guid) used to lock the version. If the calling client is editing a named version, the session ID is required. If the specified version is currently locked by any other session, the request will fail if the session ID is not provided or does not match the session ID that holds the exclusive lock. If the client is editing the default version, the session ID is not required. Syntax
|
parentParcels (Required) | Parameter list representing the parent parcels that will be clipped. Syntax
|
record | Parameter representing the unique identifier (guid) of the record being used for the clip. If missing, the edited parcels are not associated to any record and parcel lineage is not tracked. Syntax
|
clippingParcels (Required) | Parameter list representing the parcels that will overlay and clip the parent parcels. If the clippingParcels are not the same parcel type as the parentParcels, parcel history will not be tracked. Use either the clippingParcels or clippingGeometry parameters to perform the clip. One of these parameters is required. Syntax
|
clippingGeometry | Parameter list representing the geometries that will overlay and clip the parent parcels. Use this parameter list as an alternative input to the clippingParcels parameter. If the clippingParcels parameter is populated, this parameter is not required. Syntax
Example:
|
clipOption (Required) | Parameter representing the type of clip to perform:
Syntax
|
defaultAreaUnit (Required) | Parameter representing the default area units to be used when calculating the stated areas of the clipped parcels. The stated area of the clipped parcels will be calculated if the stated areas exist on the parent parcels being clipped. Syntax
|
f | Representing the output format of the response. The default response format is html. Values: html | json |
Example usage
This example shows the steps for clipping parcels using the clip operation.

- Start a service session on the version.

- Clip two parcels using a single parcel that overlays the parcels. Create remainder parcels.

- If edits are complete, stop the edit session.
- Stop and release the service session.
