Assign Elevation

This is handy little routine for quickly assigning elevations (z value) to multiple contours in AutoCAD. ideal for assigning elevation to contours obtained from digitizing or scanned vectors. Allows the user to "stair step" up or down the slope assigning the elevation. Pick the base elevation, set the contour interval, and specify up or down, and you're on your way. Contour highlighting is used to assist the user keeping track of current location, and also allowing the user to see any breaks in the contour.

Enter the starting contour elevation, or use the "..." button to select a contour, it's current elevation will be displayed as the default. Then specify the contour interval, and whether up or down a slope. once again, you can use the "..." button to select from the drawing. If you have another portion of the map which has already has been set to elevation, you may select the contour interval and slope direction by picking two adjacent contours (as shown below).

Hit the [proceed] button to continue picking each contour (in order) going up/down a slope. Each contour will highlight allowing the user to maintain position, and see any disconnected segments from the polyline contour.
