CSTAM Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I am a surveyor and constantly receive old drawings with 2D levels that have to be updated to GPS OS levels. I have to work out the height difference then manually adjust each and every level! Is there a way of selecting all 2D level text and adjust by typing the difference? Thanks, Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Are you talking about adjusting the elevation of the text entities, or editing the text string of each entity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSTAM Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 I am talking about editing text values e.g. + 20.30 would change to +20.50 if i had to add 0.2m in height. The 3D height would be good to know too if pos? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSTAM Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Spot on! Thank you. Can something similar be used to create a 3D point from 2D text? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 That has also been covered, but perhaps someone with a better memory than mine, can point in the correct direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could use a field linked to whatever entity has the changing elevation. The field will auto-update (subject to the setting of FIELDEVAL) when the elevation is changed.
