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.
