I have several elements in an elevation view which need to be placed on a sloping ground line.
The simple align elements by edge command will align them all to the lowest point on
the groundline, which is not what is wanted.
Is there a simple way to shift them all, with one command, so they rest properly
on the inclined groundplane?

Is the line a simple line (two vertices) or a line string (more than two vertices)?
This can help you:

You should always start your question title with the software and version.

Jose thanks. I am drafting in 2D, uStn PwrDrft V8i (sel 3) V 8.11.09.397
I need to move many elements to different heights depending on their horizontal position, the height being determined
by a sloping ground. A command which sets them all to the same height is not what is needed. Thanks, Jimm
under the copy pallete is the "move to contact ", you can select all the elements to move with the control key then drag the mouse in the direction of the line to contact and data point to accept.. all the objects will move to strike the sloped line... make sure you line is long enough so when you drag your in the x or y axis to drag in other wise they move sideways relative to where they should be.. sounds tricky but is very easy .. do a few test tries first till you get the hang of it... make sure you read the prompts

yes excellent thanks i never noticed that one. problem solved; thanks.
your welcome so how about some points or vote is helped me gotta keep my average up... haha
Thanks again for that. I have found when using move to contact that sometimes
it works on some but not all elements. some can disappear altogether (maybe
they go to the edge of the design plane), and I have to control z.
