Create parcel tables

00:06

In this video, we're going to discuss how to create a parcel table,

00:10

and how the creation of a parcel table will convert your segment labels into tag labels.

00:17

So to create a parcel table, what you have to do is you have to be in the Annotate tab in the ribbon bar and dropdown Add Tables and select Parcel.

00:26

And then you have four table styles that you can choose.

00:28

You can have add line table, add curve table, add segment table which will include line and curves, and then add area table.

00:37

What we're going to go ahead to do is we're going to do an add segment table,

00:40

where we're going to convert all of the segment labels into tag labels and then display them in a table.

00:46

So let's go ahead and select Add Segment.

00:50

And then inside of the Table Creation window, we can choose our table style.

00:55

If you want to have more information, you can either edit, which I am selecting here for your table style, or you can create a new table style.

01:06

Inside of there if you go to data properties, you can add information in here to gain extra information on your lines and your curves.

01:16

So what I can go ahead and do is I can click on the lines area of this table, I can double click in here,

01:22

and I can create additional data for that line with these options available to me.

01:29

And then I also have curve data available to me with these dropdown options available to me.

01:37

I am not going to change my table styles, so I'm going to go ahead and hit "Cancel".

01:42

And then you have the option of how you want to orient your tables, whether you split the table,

01:47

and how many rows you want in the table and how many tables per stack you allow,

01:51

what offsets you're going to have for those tables from each other, how you arrange those tables,

01:56

either across from each other or down, and then whether or not those tables are static or dynamic.

02:02

So I'm going to do dynamic, I'm going to have them labeled across from each other,

02:05

and I will go ahead and leave my max rows and my maximum table stacks the same.

02:12

And now what I have to do is I have to select either the tags that we want to put in the table,

02:17

or I have to select the labels that we're going to then convert to tags.

02:20

So I'm going to go ahead and pick on the screen the labels that I want to include.

02:25

I'm going to go ahead and drop a window across all of my labels that I have,

02:30

and Civil 3D has only selected the segments because we're creating a segment table.

02:35

So I'm going to go ahead and hit "Enter" and what Civil 3D is telling me, it's saying, do you want to convert all of your selected labels to tags?

02:45

And if you don't, then just add the tags to that table.

02:50

So I know that I want to add all these segments and I want to convert all of these segments to tags,

02:54

so I'm going to go ahead and select convert all selected label styles to tag mode.

02:59

And then what's going to happen here is I have now selected 25 labels, they're going to become tags.

03:06

And then I'm going to create a table off of them. So I'm going to go ahead and click "OK".

03:09

And then I'm going to choose a corner for where I'm going to place my table.

03:15

And when I place that table, it's going to create a table,

03:19

as you can see, it says line number and curve number and it has either an L for line or C for curve.

03:25

And those L and C numbers associate with these now tags instead of labels for the parcel segments.
