EDIT ELEVATIONS (EdiEle)

Type: Interactive Application

Edits entity elevations.

Detailed Description

Interactively edits entity elevations. Entities to be edited are identified by pointing at them. Elevations may be displayed in the graphics windows and many edit function such are increment and decrement may be done. Point elevations may be changed real-time from a 3D input device such as a stereo plotter or softcopy. When the current input is 2D then the mouse wheel will decrement the current elevation when rolled forward and increment the current elevation when rolled back. The increment/decrement value may be set in Enter Params (button 7)

What is the difference between Edit Elevations and Change Elevations?

Edit Elevations drives the 3D device to the points that are occupied. Change Elevations moves the point elevation to the current input elevation when a point is occupied. Change Elevations may be more useful when editing line elevations from a 3D input device such as a stereo plotter or softcopy. Change Elevations may also be more useful when editing elevations that are a great distance from the current elevation as with line with a zero elevation.

PARAMETERS

Search for Lines? (SEALIN=)

Sets the Search for Lines flag.

Search for Lines? (SEASYM=)

Sets the Search for Symbols flag.

Search for Lines? (SEATEX=)

Sets the Search for Text flag.

Text rotation mode (ROTMOD=)

Defines the mode of the rotation of the text labels. 0=Rotate the text labels to the mean line azimuth. 1=Rotate the text labels to defined angle

Elevation increment (INC=)

Defines the elevation increment to use when incrementing and decrementing elevations.

Height of display text (HGT=)

Defines the height for elevation text labels. This parameter is entered as Inches or Millimeters.

Rotation of display text (ROT=)

Defines the number of characters to the right of the decimal point for text elevation labels.

Show elevations (SHOELE=)

Specifies if text elevations will be shown during editing. 0=No 1=Yes

Erase elevations (EREELE=)

Specifies if text elevations will be erased after editing. 0=No 1=Yes
