Changing color of blocks according to elevation attribute

Hi everyone,

I imported some bathymetric coordinates to AUTOCAD map 3d, they appeared as individual blocks, the numbers with a centered cross. I kept only the elevation attribute, adjusting size and position. After that, I had some issues, following:

 

I have to put them into a map, in different sizes and rotation angles according to the place, I made different blocks, separating above 10 meters and below 10 meters, because of the position of the numbers (have to be centered, matching the comma with the cross, and they vary depending on the numbers - 1 and 2 digits), and the blocks got mixed in their properties (size and color). I left them like that for a while, because I did manually, but I'm trying to solve this with some routine or queries.

 

I also need to classify the different depths with colors, according to the location. Is there a way to do it? Is it better to change from blocks to text? I'm trying to do a query for that, but is not working for blocks or text, I guess I am doing something wrong. Could you please, help me? Thanks in advance.

Hi, there are thousands of numbers. That's why I'm trying to work with blocks and queries, if it's possible. Follows a sample attached[ATTACH=CONFIG]56794[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]56794[/ATTACH]

It would probably be easier to test any proposed solutions if you were to attach an actual copy of the .DWG file. Images, in most cases, are just pretty pictures and that's about it.

Hi, I send an example. The numbers in black are the minimum zone depth and all the blue values which are below this should have red color, according to the stated for the zone.

Is there a way to do this at once? A lisp/query/etc.?

Thanks in advance
