Funny. Jeff employs a lot of examples of similar field functionality that are in employed in Sheet Sets.
Jeff's nifty demo trickery to use fields in both Tables and related Labels can come in very handy.
Maybe you are thinking...Yes. We can use fields in blocks and even ACAD dynamic blocks.

If you don't employ MAPCLEAN often in your daily work, you don't know or understand what you are missing.
Please. Do not ignore the important fact that you can externalize into a library of standard resources the MAPCLEAN process files and specifics.

Annotative objects are useful in Civil 3D in publication drawings.
If we misunderstand the difference between a Civil 3D working drawing and a publication drawing, that is a problem.
Everything we Annotate with them must also be managed and maintained as well.
The Annotative clearly shows the Power of Names.
