How to add Mtext content as a Property in Polylines

Hello, everybody! I have a question here.

 

I have a drawing with LOTs of closed polylines, each one with a corresponding name in a mtext. Is there a way to automatically get the name and add it as a property in each polyline? All mtexts are WITHIN the corresponding polyline.

I'm thinking to give it a try to Dynamo creating a property set but maybe someone here knows a way to do it in Civil 3D / Map 3D more easily.

Thanks!

Hi Matheus,
As long as the text is within the closed polylines, you can use >>>Generate Links<<<.

Thanks for sharing that one, nice little gem.

Unless you need it as property set data, I would create parcels from objects.  You get the ability to get the area, label the length of each parcel segment, export data tables, and still use property sets.
