Point Evelation Label not matching point z value

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am new to the forum and was looking for some help. Something very odd is happening to my cogo points. In my drawing my I have chosen to display my points with "elevation only", however the label is displaying the wrong point elevation. When I check the point in properties under the "3d geometry" header the elevation is correct.

What is the relationship between 3d geometry in properties and the x, y, z coordinate you get when you run say the "ID" command?

If anyone can shed some light I'd be much obliged..

Welcome to the Forums!

You have a meters vs. feet units issue (roughly .3048 difference).

Was an Imperial template used to start the drawing, instead of metric?

Command: EDITDRAWINGSETTINGS > Units & Zone tab > verify Drawing Units are set correctly.

Settings tab of Toolspace > Point > Label Styles > label style used

If this doesn't help please post the dwg here.

My drawing settings and units are set to metric. I have been copying cogo points from old drawings and I think this is where the issue has arisen.

Cheers for the reply, I'm driving myself mad trying to sort this.

DWG is attached.

JF,

Welcome to the Autodesk Forums!

As Jay @Jay_B said, your Label Style was displaying in Feet. You can display your elevations in anything you want, even Parsecs if you're mapping stars. I've attached a style added to your drawing that shows both Meters and Feet.
