sethwd2 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I haven't used AutoCAD in about 10 years. I will use it for a grad school project for a river longitudinal profile and cross section. Can I have point elevations in AutoCAD 2014? I would prefer to use that than Civil 3D. Sorry if this question is really dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Are you going to do this in 3D first then extract the 2D views? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 You can assign all the points you want but you'll have to create a block with an attribute for the elevation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 If you use Autocad points with an elevation pretty sure there is various lisps that label the point elevation like Remark's suggestion some also do a leader or text version have a search here. The other way is to use Dataextraction create the points with xyz and export to excel then simply create a new column with Text x,y 0 Z using concatenate then just copy and paste column to command line.

Bill Tillman Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 This may not be exactly what you want but a long time ago, 2009 to be exact, our good friend Lee Mac helped me with a similar problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
