I draw Lines between 2 cogo points from node to node

masonbrown — Thu, 03 Aug 2017 14:38:00 GMT

When drawing lines between cogo points-from node to node-the line goes from that spot elevation to the other spot elevation.

Is there a way to draw these lines from point to point, but at elevation zero?

thanks, Mason Brown

Draw a polyline instead of a line.

At the command line enter OSNAPZ=1

OSNAPZ Set to 0 will use the current entity's Z value for commands

OSNAPZ Set to 1 will use the current UCS Z value for commands, and will thus ignore the Z value of the selected entity if it differs from UCS Z.

Dear Friend,

You can use FLATTERN command and select the line. Then it will set to elevation 0 both ends.

Otherwise type command ELEV and set it to 0 (Or any desired elevation) and draw polyline instead of line.

Thanks

The polyline will have the elevation of the first point you snap to unless OSNAP = 1
