Use parcel tables to consolidate information about the parcels and parcel segments in your drawing.
Tables provide an alternative to labels for information management. Labels can be hard to read if your parcels are small and the drawing is crowded with other data. Tables keep the information organized and separate from the drawing, but cross-referenced by small labels known as tags.
Tutorial Exercise: Creating a Parcel Area Table
When parcel or segment information is displayed in table rows, table tags uniquely identify the parcels or segments in the drawing and in the initial cells of table rows. For example, if a line segment is labeled L234, its corresponding table row is also labeled L234.
In AutoCAD Civil 3D, parcel tables support general line and curve label types. When creating parcel tables, you can select general line and curve label types and/or parcel segment labels.
For more information about labels, tables, and table tags, see Parcel Labels and Tables and Parcel Label Styles.
Line/curve segments must be labeled prior to adding a table to the drawing. When you add the table, the labels are converted to tags.
You create and edit tables for most objects using the same common procedures and standard dialog boxes. The procedures included in this topic explain how to work with parcel tables. For general information about modifying tables, see Modifying Tables.
