Quick elevation edit and Set grade show different elevation

Hi everyone,

I have a problem when edit featureline. When using "Quick elevation edit" tool, it show correct elevation (41.57, see image 1a and 1b). But when I use "Set grade" tool, it show wrong elevation (12.67, see image 2).

It is the same featureline at the same location,

Can someone help me on this ?

Many thanks,

It looks like a Units problem. 12.67 meters = 41.57 feet. Check the Drawing Settings from the Toolspace. AECDWGSETUP from the command line to confirm.

You're welcome.

A quick method I've learned to spot the foot/meter relationship. Divide the meters by 3 and multiply the results by 10.

In my head I say 1/3 of 12.6 is 4.2. Shift the decimal point and 42 is close to 41.57. That makes it likely enough to do the math to confirm it.
