Adjust Elevation Labels

This command has several functions that allow you to modify spot elevation labels.

The Remove Base Elevation function removes the base elevation amount from the labels. For instance, often elevations are abbreviated to save space. If every elevation in a drawing is in the 500's instead of labeling every elevation 523.5, 543.3, 537.2 sometimes you may wish to have them displayed as simply 23.5, 43.3, 37.2. This command allows you to adjust the labels by a given amount, such as 500, to every label elevation. This does not affect the actual elevation of entities in the drawing or in the associated surface model file.

The Add Base Elevation function is the reverse of Remove and applies when the labels are missing the base elevation and you want to add this elevation into the labels.

The Offset Elevation function adds the specified offset amount to the elevation labels and applies when elevation labels need to be adjusted by a fixed vertical offset.

The Set Integer Digits function sets the number of digits to the left of the decimal point for the elevation labels.

The Set Decimals function sets the number of digits to the right of the decimal point for the elevation labels.
