Is there a command or lisp in AutoCad release 11 to change an object elevation other then the move command? The change command with the elevation sure was nice to use when a person is involved in GIS. Mike

Michael: No… but I think Autodesk realizes that this is an oversight and has plans to fix it in the future. C#

Michael – Try downloading CHELEV.LSP from Library 2 [AutoLISP/ADS]. -TonyT.

Mike – Autodesk committed a faux-pas when they removed elevation from the list of properties you could change with the CHANGE command. We *think* it will be replaced in Release 11 with a new option to CHPROP. In the meantime, the inimitable Tony Tanzillo has knocked off a little routine called CHELEV.LSP that will do the trick. You can download it from Lib 2 "AutoLISP/ADS". Dave

Dave, AutoCad Release 11 Chprop command does not have elevation change ether, that is a real faux-pas from Autodesk. Thanks for LSPs. Another change in the AutoCad Release 11 Change command is after you pick the enitities to be change to another layer then come to the Properties/<Change point>: you use to type LA at this prompt <cr> then prompt for new layer, but now at this point you have to type P then to the Change what property prompt. Thanks for the information on the Chelev.lsp sure will come in handy. Mike
