I always have to remind people that you should try employ the existing Civil 3D Point, Link, and Shape namespace in your PKT files as much as possible.
This simple discipline reduces the annoying requirement to add the unknown Point, Link, and Shape codes into any existing Code Set Styles.
Look for the C3DStockSubassemblyScripts.codes file in ..\ProgramData\Autodesk\civil 3D version\enu folder of your Civil 3D install.
Editing the PKT files supplied with Civil 3D or that you get from others is worth the small amount of hassle to reduce the downstream production wasted time.
How Parcel and Building Linework Codes Work
How Parcel and Building Linework Codes Work

Jeff Moris, a Senior Application Expert for IMAGINiT, walks through examples of how to employ Civil 3D Survey parcel and building coding techniques for Figure Linework.

This Jeff's Linecode 103 or Linecoding Part 3 of a series.
The video explores the more topics from the Special Codes page of the Civil 3D help file.
Topics Covered:
- Parcel creation from figures and the setup details
- Point coding to create building and similiar closed planar Figures
- Figure creation that includes RT and RECT codes
Like I said last time you can probably figure out why Jeff changes his default delimiter and default escape character in his Linework Code Set from the example results, but he really doesn't clarify why he wants to employ the space character differently.
I'm not sure I like his default delimiter alternative for other Civil 3D Survey string interpreter reasons, but to each his own.
Just so you know Jeff applies different Linework Code Sets as a demostration technique. Do not do this is working projects. It is impossible to track.
Jeff implies and employs a method that includes the immediate creation of Figures inside the output drawing in this series. The Survey Db creation and drawing creation are separate events that we can manage to our advantage.
For example you may only want parcel related figures in one output drawing and not in another. You can do this to a template that resolves the site and parcel style results much better and automatically.

The Framework for Civil 3D includes 2000+ Codes, matched Description Keys, Figure Prefix Dbs, and all the above resources. This makes it a better place to start.

This Jeff's Linecode 102 or Linecoding Part 2 of a series.
The video explores the contents and topics of the Special Codes page of the Civil 3D help file.
Topics Covered:
- Begin and End Curves - sorry no discussion of tangency in detail
- Point coding to create nodes in multiple Figures
- Figure creation that includes connections to previous points - RPN and CPN codes
- Child Figure creation with horizontal and vertical offsets
- Adding both Figure Prefix Db defined breakline figures and other figures as breaklines to a surface

He makes the really important point that editing FBK and/or point files in the shop is useful and very productive.
