    Hi all.
    I am trying to query elevation data from shapefiles. I have a drawing
    open that is an autocad drawing, and then I do an attach of that
    drawing.
    After I attach I goto current query-->define --> location all -->then I
    pick alter properties and get elev from object data.

    At this point, it should get the elevations from my object data, but
    after the execute has completed, I go and pick a line, and there is no
    z-value, it's still 0.

    Basically, I am trying to give my regular 2d polylines a z-value and
    make them 3d polylines, and it aint working. I'm doing this to
    eventually create a TIN in LDT

    If anyone has any ideas, that would be great.
    I'm on WIN2K and autocad 2005 map3d/ldd.
