<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The Demarcation Board tries to follow cadastral boundaries – but I think you are probably looking at a precision issue – not an intentional
misplacement. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Probably caused by scale of digitising in the GIS. A system shift in the GIS, issues of Lo to Geographical transformation, a shift
in their cadastral data set relative to topography, etc. Any of these could also introduce positional error of the order you refer to.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I believe the permission will relate to the administrative authority over the cadastral portion, which would be where the bulk and
the rest of the farm lies, and not the thin strip they appear to have “chopped off”.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The demarcation board cannot divide a single property into two areas except by error. I would just go ahead with the practical solution
and ignore the illogical.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">They do split portions of a farm into different areas – which is also illogical - but the whole portion is in an adjacent municipality,
district or province. (Check Jankempdorp’s eastern boundary where in fact we are talking provincial and not just municipal boundary.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the application between two authorities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I did see the one using "another layer", but that is problematic as when one is digitising (say) a town road network you would want to honour the straightness of the roads and then intersect them afterwards.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-ZA">If you're doing it while digitising I would rather set up snapping perfectly then node intersections while digitising. As simple as stopping a line and starting a new one instead of just clicking
a vertex at an intersection. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Will look at the scripting options - for now this is just a training exercise in teaching digitising principals.<br>
