No, certainly not.
The simple reason: There is no standard meaning of 2C,
is it GF, forcing to the 4 level only, or could responder sign
of in 3C.
Additionnaly there is no standard meaning of openers 2NT
rebid either.
With kind regards

I don't think there's a standard meaning for it in 2/1, it's up to what you agree with partner. Though if I had to assume a meaning with a pick-up (presuming 2C is GF) I'd say 2NT rebid is weak NT and 3NT is 18-19 with something like 4-4-3-2.

2N rebid is either 12/14 or 18/19, and the 3N rebid is 15-17 unbalanced, most likely with a stiff club (15-17 balanced would have opened 1N).
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?

ty for responses but it seems many play 3nt here as alot of different things here as standard.
Why not rebid your second suit with a stiff club and 15-17 hcp?
I do not think a "standard 2/1" 2C denies a 4 card major so I wonder why so many would jump rebid 3nt with one?

I don't know what standard is, but I THOUGHT standard in 2/1 was that 2NT is EITHER minimum OR 18+ (in which case opener bids again over raise to 3NT) and 3NT is 15-17 with a hand unsuited for 1NT opening.

Agreed, although many don't play it this way from my unfortunate experiences with pickups.

Lol, I was actually joking.
Given that in "standard 2/1", it is already unclear whether 2♣ is forcing to game, it seems rather futile to try to answer the question of the original thread.

In Washington Standard (Steve Robinson), 1D 2C : 3N shows a 15-17 HCP hand that could not open 1N.
In Modern American Bidding (Eric Kokish and Beverly Kraft), 1D 2C : 3N shows precisely 4=4=3=2 shape, 18-19 HCP [then 4♣, 4NT, 5NT natural, 4♦ and 4♥ transfers, 4♠ ace-asking].
