LDD 2005 question

LDD 2005 question

LDD 2005 question

(OP)
Our firm has noticed a problem with generating profiles...the elevations (text) are on Z coords that are WAY off from 0. Something in the area of 200 thousand or more. Is there some setting in the profile generator that would stop this from occurring?

I am guessing that all that extra 3d space is making the drawings much slower to respond to commands, especially dragging windows and crossings.

Any help on this would be appreciated!

RE: LDD 2005 question

SouthernDrafter,
You have to set your elevation to Zero.
In command portion just type elevation and set to 0.

(OP)
That's the first thing we've checked....already set to zero. Let me clarify that the line work is okay, it's ONLY THE TEXT that is landing way off in 3d land. I can manually set it back to 0, but ACAD seems to be remembering the depth. You can type LIMITS and shore up the x/y axis....is there a way to shore up the Z axis? Can't find anything in the help topics about this.

RE: LDD 2005 question

from pull down menu(Autocad) select 'properties' then select all the fonts with 'z' value, double click 'z value' on the dialog box of properties and set to 0.
i hope will works!
