Edit Elevations (EdiEle)

Type: Interactive Application

 

Edits entity elevations.

Detailed Description

Interactively edits entity elevations. Entities to be edited are identified by pointing at them. Elevations may be displayed in the graphics windows. Many edit functions such as increment and decrement may be performed. Point elevations may be changed in real-time from a 3D input device such as a stereo plotter or softcopy. When the current input is 2D, rolling the mouse wheel forward will decrement the current elevation  and rolling the mouse wheel backward will increment it. The increment/decrement value may be set in Enter Params (button 7).

 

What is the difference between Edit Elevations and Change Elevations?

Edit Elevations drives the 3D device to the points that are occupied. Change Elevations moves the point elevation to the current input elevation when a point is occupied. Change Elevations may be more useful when editing line elevations from a 3D input device such as a stereo plotter or softcopy. Change Elevations may also be more useful when editing elevations that are a great distance from the current elevation, as with lines with a zero elevation.

Sets the Search for Symbols flag.

Search for Lines? (SEATEX=)

Sets the Search for Text flag.

Text rotation mode (ROTMOD=)

Defines the mode of the rotation of the text labels. 0=Rotate the text labels to the mean line azimuth. 1=Rotate the text labels to defined angle.

Elevation increment (INC=)

Defines the elevation increment to use when incrementing and decrementing elevations.

Height of display text (HGT=)

Defines the height for elevation text labels. This parameter is entered as Inches or Millimeters.

Rotation of display text (ROT=)

Defines the rotation of the display text. This parameter is used if the line text rotation mode is 1 (Rotate text to defined angle).

Number of decimal places (DEC=)

Defines the number of characters to the right of the decimal point for text elevation labels.

Show elevations (SHOELE=)

Specifies whether text elevations are shown during editing. 0=No 1=Yes

Erase elevations (EREELE=)

Specifies whether text elevations are erased after editing. 0=No 1=Yes
