Tutorial: Adding User-Defined Properties to
Points
This tutorial demonstrates how to add custom properties to points.
A user-defined property can be any useful attribute, such as date of acquisition
or source. To create user-defined properties, you first create a property
classification, which is a container for one or more related properties.
If you want to define a value for a point, but the applicable property does not
exist, you can define it as a custom, user-defined property.
You assign classifications and their associated properties to the points in your
drawing using point groups. After you have added the user-defined properties
to a point group, you can add values for each property either by editing the
properties of individual points or by importing values from an external point
file.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic User-Defined
Property Classifications.

Exercise 1: Creating User-Defined Properties
