Neil,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
as you have found, there is a limitation on the number of characters thatcan be used as a feature inside COGO.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Copy the &amp;quot;Default_Parcel&amp;quot; SMD feature to a new (shorter) name and use that name as your COGO feature.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The &amp;quot;Default_Parcel&amp;quot; is part of the SMD to provide some level of symbology/annotations to COGO parcels that do NOT have a feature associated with them.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
HTHs.
&lt;/p&gt;
BTW: It does appear that the number of characters for Feature names has been increased for the upcoming SELECTseries1 release. I was able to successfuilly add a 20 character feature name.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
