Civil 3D provides a feature called “Property Sets” that allows extended attribution to be applied to ANY object(s). Typically, Property Set Data is accessed by selecting an object and then reviewing the data from the Extended Data Tab of the Properties Palette. While this is a nice option, there is a faster way to view extended attribution!
In today’s installment we’ll explore how a feature of the SHP Import/Export Utilities will add Property Set data to the rollover tooltips. (SHP Import/Export Utilities is an add-on available for Civil 3D 2020 and above. It can be downloaded and installed using the Autodesk Subscription Site, or the Autodesk Desktop App.)
If you’re interested, I’ve created a quick video below that walks through everything!

Jeff,
This is an outstanding video Jeff. This is so crucial to anyone that wants to use extended attribution, whether it comes from Surveying, GIS or design. The entire set of videos that go with this needs to be distributed to folks so they realize what they can do with the extended feature options.
Take care,
David
