Spot Elevation
Function
This command allows you to label points
with their elevation. The point can either be digitized from a
drawing, picked on a screen or specified by a point number. The command
first prompts you the Label Spot
Elevation Dialog for entering layer name, label prefix and
suffix and symbol types etc. Click OK to start. After specifying
the point, the command prompts you to enter the elevation if its
elevation is unknown and then pick an angle from the location of the
point to label the elevation. You can repeat labeling points until you
press Enter to finish.
