How can I place an altitude dimension on a 2d drawing?

Hi @kostimea,

Could you say a little more about what you're trying to achieve here?

• When you say "altitude", are you referring to elevation?
• In plan view or in section/elevation?

There are elevation labels available in AutoCAD Architecture, which you can find more information about here:

Hi,

Thank you for your reply, that is what I am looking for. I would like to use it in a plan view. I have drawn an elevation with2d elements in a view file (not generated from a 3d model) and I need to place the dimensions on it.

I have found the elevation label tool, have set my z axis, placed a label. The elevation height shown in the label menu is correct ( 2,82m) but the label placed on the drawing shows a different number(+110,0000).

Hi @kostimea,

I'm glad this has pointed you in the right direction.

Could you post your file with the Elevation Label that doesn't display the correct value?

I'll be happy to take a look to try to determine what is happening.
