Object Elevation Label?

[sheldon.dale]

Does anyone know of a way to label the elevation of an object where it is picked?  For example, I'd like to be able to pick on the node of a feature line or 3D polyline (or any object really) and have a label placed that displays the elevation of the object at the point where it was picked.  This could appear similar to the surface spot elevation label, but instead of getting it's elevation from a surface, it would come from the object where picked.  

Alternatively, does anyone know of a way to create a label style, perhaps using the Note label, to display something like this?  I don't even care if it is dynamic or not, static would be fine.  However, I do need it to scale annotatively.  

ToolPac has a feature that does this, but the label is just a polyline and text that is not annotative.  

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You can add a "Note" feature type (from the Add Labels dialog) to do this. You'll need a style that captures the "Z" elevation of the "Note".

Thanks!  Got it!

But one more question.  Is there any way to make the label default to a dragged state, so I can click once on the object that I'm trying to label, and the second click will be where the label text is placed?

Thanks again.

I can picture what you want, but it's out of my league. After you create one of the note lables you can pull it out and then copy it, each location should update to the new elevation.

I can see where it would be a useful tool.
