To Add Attributes

Use this procedure to add attributes to an elevation label.

An elevation label usually contains attributes for displaying the elevation, prefixes, and suffixes.

Elevation label attributes come from a property set definition. Predefined attributes are available when you start with one of the templates, or when you start from scratch and drag a predefined elevation label from DesignCenter™ into the drawing.

Elevation label attributes   
Attribute/Tag Description
ELEVATION Displays the height of an elevation label in relation to the coordinate system chosen.
ELEVATION:MM Displays the millimeters of the elevation value in superscript. You need this attribute only when working with metric units.
PREFIX To enter a prefix for the elevation label, you must add this attribute.

To use different attributes in elevation labels, create your own Property Set Definition for elevation labels.
