Parcel User Defined Properties

[rl_jackson]

I have defined a UDP for a Parcel Styles called Data, under this I have the following Owner, Address, Deed, Parcel ID.

How might I go about getting the data from an xls to the predefined UDP?

The Land Interop API can do it.

That may work for a single UDP, put I have multiple UDP's that I want to import the data via a csv file. I just don't see a way to accomplish this.

No, you're right. There is no command in Civil to do it. Even once the UDP's are placed on the parcels, C3D won't even export them to LandXML or SDF.

But I think via the API, one could write a script that reads CSV and sets it on the Parcels.

IMHO, The Civil 3D parcels are only good for sizing, making a table and labeling the perimeter. I can do all the rest with Shape files and at least SHP is universal.
