Move/Place elements at the correct Z elevation
  
With thanks to Thomas Voghera for the following tip:

In MicroStation V8 2004 Edition, you can take advantage of the new XY=#,#,# syntax for relative coordinates to move or place elements at the correct elevation. For example, move extended;e,dialog cmdbrowse;k,XY=#,#, will activate the Move Element tool, open the keyin window and prep you for keying in the new Z value. All you need to do is keyin the value and press enter. Similarily, you can also use this syntax with AccuDraw's Data Point Keyin window that's activated with the P keyin. Of course, when using this method, you would not key in the xy= portion.

In the clip below, the element is being moved between Z=1050 and Z=1400.
