Insertion point problem

I have been trying to simply insert points in a .csv file (PNEZD).  The foints are taken SPC systems and elevations are in feet.  I am using the imperial english template with no conversions.  When i import the points from a file the points come in in the correct position but the elevation is in meters insted of feet!

 

Please advise

Check your Point Label Style to be sure that someone didn't accidentally change it to Meters in the template. Not saying that's the problem. But it's the first and easiest to look at.

Can you post a the point file so we can test on our end? Does this happen with the standard Civil 3D template as well as your own?

Comes in fine for me. Can you post your drawing as well? You can strip all linework and C3D objects out of it if you want.

It came in fine for me as well. All the elevations appeared as they do in the CSV file.  However, when I changed the drawing units to meters and then imported the points they were in the 3000 range elevations.  Is your template set up in meters and you just didn't know it?
