As of 2014, Civil 3d still does not have parcels in shortcuts.
Do they have them in 2015?
Plan to add in 2016?
Something weird about parcels that won't allow the programers to add them?
Nobody else asking for this function?
I use them for drainage areas. The boss is asking for swale drainage areas in one drawings, sediment trap areas in a second, etc. The drafter set the sheets up in different CAD files. it is either WBLOCK or shortcuts.
No, not part of 2015. Regarding 2016 and the future, anyone that knows the real answer could not say so anyway due to the NDA. If you're interested, you can sign your own NDA and join the beta program to test new features and submit your wishes. You can also just submit your product feedback here.
I'd like to see feature line drefs myself.
For me, too many Parcels spoil the pot. I just use FIELDS for these areas.
Also, you can draw your areas, etc. in PaperSpace. It is not too difficult to have the FIELD calculate the areas in paperspace.
