Change Text Elevations (ChaTez)

Type: Batch Application

Changes the label of a text entity representing an elevation.

Detailed Description

Each entity in VrOne stores a double precision elevation. In the case of a text entity, in which the text label represents the elevation of the entity, it is possible to redefine the text label based on the entity elevation. This is normally used when modifying the labels for spot elevations. There may be cases in which the number of places to the left or the right of the decimal point may need to be changed. It is also useful when re-labeling spot elevations after a Z datum shift. Since the elevation of the text entity is copied to the text label it is possible to run this operation many times, overwriting the results of the last run.

Any text labels encountered that contain non-numeric characters will be skipped. Layers that are turned off will not be considered even if they have been specified. Change Text Elevations is undoable.

Available Key-ins

Parameters for Change Text Elevations

Workspaces to consider

Defines the workspaces to consider when running Clear Polygons.

Layers to search

Specifies layers to search for text elevations. Layers that are turned off will not be considered even if specified.

Number of places right of decimal

Defines the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. Trailing zeroes will be added. 0 is allowed in this field.

Number of places left of decimal

Defines the number of digits to the left of the decimal point. Leading zeroes will not be added.

Rounding mode for places right of decimal

Defines the action to take when setting the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. Options are Round, which rounds the number, or Truncate in which the number is truncated and digits further to the right are not considered. For example, if the “Number of places to the right of decimal” is 2 and the elevation of the text entity is 12345.9999 then Round would result in 12346.00 and Truncate would result in 12345.99.
