Is it possible for Civil 3D to autimatically show the existing property lines or proposed ROW on our cross section drawings? We would like to see the impact of ditching for property acquisition.

Take a look at this web site, this is what we used at our office and it works great. Disregard the C3D 2008 title if you are using C3D 2009, we are currently using 2009 and it works just fine. Once you have all this set up I suggest saving all of the styles in your template drawing for futures ease of this task.

Or

This web Site.

The short answer is make a ROW or property line label block. Add a Generic Link to your assembly, and target your ROW/property line with it in your corridor properties.
Then assign that block as part of a point or link label in your code set that your section is using.
In 2010 one could attempt to use the Project Object to Section Views and place them that way if it is for just a few sections. This method might work best if one isn't in need of a full ROW label, and simply wants to see where the setion relates to it.

Note:  BuckoAk; not trying to 'upstage' you here.  It's just that I am more in favor of content, over links.
