Tony, I think you've stated the problem very well. I have had this issue myself, and it has become a major problem for our mapping department. There are many scenarios in addition to this one where the parcel labels (and segment labels) need to appear differently in different places. I realize there are workarounds, such as duplicating parcels within multiple sites, or even creating multiple files, but these methods seem to negate the dynamic functionality of Civil 3D. I wonder why parcels have not been added to the list of items available for use within the C3D project environment?
