You can label lines, arcs, 2D polylines, feature lines, parcels, and alignments with AutoCAD Civil 3D label styles. The general line label styles are available for lines, arc, 2D polylines, feature lines, lot lines, and alignments. You can also convert these general line labels to tags.

When creating or editing line labels, you can select both parcel label/alignment label styles as well as general line and curve label styles. The commands to add single and multiple label types support each of the three object types (line/curve, parcel, and alignment).
