The attribute table of geo-referenced features created outside the template must be exactly the same as those in the template before you can append them into the features in the template.

The conversion from the native survey data, Geopak, MicroStation or CAD files used in the preparation of the property descriptions and parcel plats to the coordinate system and format of the geodatabase template can be accomplished in a number of different ways in different programs and in ArcGIS depending on the origin and format of the survey data.

Since no one set of instructions will fit all the different variables of data collection, data processing, and/or data conversion software, the only requirement will be that the feature data is geospatially correct and submitted to the State in the exact format of the template.
