Spot Elevation
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.![Spot Elevation](spot.bmp)
