Change Text Z Value

Post by planlondon »

Hi,

We are using point clouds in AutoCAD and would like to be able to copy text to a point on the cloud and click a button to change the text to it's z value. Does anyone know if there is something in AutoCAD to do this or a Lisp routine we could use, please?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Plenty of lsp routines out there to do that. Jason Warren on the forum also has a set of tools for the use with clwx to do the same and much more

You can also just create a dynamic block which picks up the Z value.
