Change Elevations

This command will change the elevation of selected entities. It can move the entity to a specified elevation from its current elevation (absolute) or do a differential change by adding or subtracting a value from its current elevation. If Carlson points are selected, their elevation attribute text and the elevation stored in the external coordinate file are changed.  If the points are in the drawing at their real Z, this is also adjusted, however, if they are in the drawing at a fixed elevation, e.g. 0, the point blocks remain at that elevation.

There are options to move the changed objects to a new layer, and alternately to select a source object's elevation to supply the value of the elevation to change the selected object(s) to.

Prompts

Type of elevation change [<Absolute>/Differential]: press A to change to a specific (absolute) value, or press D to enter an amount of elevation change to apply to object's current elevation.
Change Layer for changed entities [Yes/<No>]: press Enter or N to keep on same layer, press Y to change layer of object after changing elevation.
Select/<Enter Elevation <100.0000>>: 125 By using the Absolute option all entities selected are changed to the elevation 125. You may simply press Enter to keep the value shown in brackets. Press S to select a source object's elevation for the new elevation to change the selected object(s) to.
