Transfer elevation values to AutoCAD

Last Published: April 25, 2020

Summary

Below is a description on how to set the elevation values in ArcCAD to display a theme in 3 dimensions.

Procedure



Use the ARCLINES command to display arc features for a specified line theme.

Code:
Command: ARCLINES
Theme name (?/<MYSHP>):
Display using? (Properties/Item/<Symbol>): P
Layer/Item/<0>:
Item (?):
Color/Item/<BYLAYER>:
Linetype/Item/<BYLAYER>:
Linewidth/Item/<0.0>:
Elevation/Item/<0.0000>: I
Item (?): (Enter a numeric item. The item may exist in a related file, i.e ELEV)
Thickness/Item/<0.0000>:
Curve item name (?/<none>):


The values in the AAT item will become the current AutoCAD elevation values.

Note:
The ARCLINES command creates polyline, arc and circle entities in the current AutoCAD drawing. Entity-feature links are based on the current link mode. See ArcCAD Command Reference, "Arclines".
