Move or place elements at the correct Z-elevation
Original Tip Date:
Sep 29, 2006
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.
