Exercise 1: Loading And Navigating A Pay Item List - Autodesk CIVIL3D - CIVILDESIGNCOMP 2007 SLM CD Tutorials Manual

A pay item is a specific unit of work for which a price is provided and paid to
a contractor while a site is under construction. It consists of a pay item ID
number, description, and unit of measure.
Pay items can be associated with any AutoCAD entity, such as lines, closed
polygons, and blocks, after they have been created. When pay items are
associated with an AutoCAD Civil 3D pipe network parts list or code set style,
then the pipe network or corridor object is automatically tagged with the
specified pay items.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Using Pay Items
to Analyze Quantities.
