michaeloureiro Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hey everybody, I´ve seen this before and don´t remember what comand is used to facilitate setting elevation values after defining 0,0 co-ordinate? Can anybody help?http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/8922/sc1ar9.th.png' alt='sc1ar9.th.png'>[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 the elevation is in Autocad as your Z when you are in UCS world, so normaly you create objects at 0 elevation (z) so if you wanted it on another elevation (100 for example) simply move it there (assuming you only wish to move the object in a Z direction) Move > *select object* > D (displacement) > 0,0,100 > enter This will move your object 100 units up vertically (use -100 if you wanted to move it down vertically) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeloureiro Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 wise, i got that part, i don´t know how to dimension the elevations.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nellie Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 It's hard to see from your photo but if all you want to do is dim the Elevation in the X & Y plain then you can just click on the line and hit properties to see the value (make sure the line in straight) and then type mtext to put that on the drawing. If it's a large drawing a lisp were by you just click and the value appears might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaeloureiro Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Think i found it....ordinate dimensions, which lets you dimension relative to one point. OD makes it easy to dimension elevations and sections relative to the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
