Creating Parcel Segment Tables

The process of creating parcel segment tables is similar to the way you create area tables. You can select the segments that are listed in the table based on their label style or select each segment individually. When a segment is listed in the table, its label is transformed into a tag that simply assigns a number to the segment. Usually, you will want to renumber these tags to follow a sequential order that matches how they are laid out in the drawing. You can do this using the Renumber Tags command on the ribbon.

There are three types of segment tables you can create: line, curve, and segment. The last type (segment) is simply a combination of line and curve data in the same table.

To create a parcel segment table in your drawing and then renumber the tags, complete the following steps:

1. Open the drawing named Creating a Segment Table.dwg located in the Chapter 13 class data folder. The drawing is zoomed in to the central portion of the project where the interior lots have been labeled. There are many short curves in this layout, and in many cases, the labels don’t fit on the curves. To improve the clarity of the drawing, you are going to put all curve data in a table.

2. On the Annotate tab of the ribbon, click Add TablesParcel a Add Curve.
3. In the Table Creation dialog box, do the following:
   1. For Table Style, verify that Length Radius & Delta is selected.
   2. Under Label Style Name, scroll down and check the box in the Apply column next to Parcel Curve: Delta Over Length And Radius.
   3. Click OK.
4. Pick a point in an open area of the drawing to insert the table.
5. Click the curve label at the northwest corner of lot 41, and click the circular grip to reset the label and place it back on the curve.

6. With the label still selected, click Renumber Tags on the ribbon. The label now reads C1.
7. Continue working in a clockwise direction until all of the tags have been renumbered.

   Tips :You can click each label and press Enter to repeat the Renumber Tags command. This makes the process go a little quicker.


8. On the Annotate tab of the ribbon, click Add Labels.
9. In the Add Labels dialog box, select Parcel as the feature and select Multiple Segment as the label type. Click Add.
10. Click the lot 17 label, and press Enter to accept the default direction of clockwise. Do the same for the lot 18 label. New line and curve labels are placed in the drawing.
11. Renumber the new curve tags so that they continue the numbering sequence.

12. Click the table, and then click Add Items on the ribbon. In the Add Selection dialog box, check the box next to Parcel Curve: Delta Over Length And Radius. Click OK.
13. Pan over to the table, and note that the information was automatically added (see Figure 13.7).
