Butch Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 How to do this? I have a lot of projects that have survey line on them. What happens is when I draw something over them usualy I snap to them and when I orbit half of the line points are hovering in the air and half of them are sitttong on the 0 Z coordinate. Is it possible to disable Acad, even if it snaps to a certain point with Z coordinate, to draw a line that has a Z value? It would be like when projecting everything to 0 ground floor even if you snap to a certain point that has a z value. Quote
eldon Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 You sound as if you need to flatten the drawing, so that everything is at zero. Or you could use the .XY filter and enter a z of zero. Or if you are going to draw a polyline, you would only have to put z = zero on the first point, then subsequent points will always have a z of zero, even if the line snapped to has an elevation.

lpseifert Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Does 2007 have the system variable Osnapz? Set Osnapz= 0 & Elev=0 (or whatever Z value you want to draw) Quote
eldon Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I see that came in with AutoCAD 2006, so the OP will be happy Quote
Glen Smith Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Can you put your additions on other layers then flatten all but the survey lines on the survey layers? Quote
