To Change the Location of an Elevation Line

Use this procedure to relocate an elevation line by changing the coordinate values of its insertion point. The elevation line also has an orientation with respect to the WCS or the current UCS. For example, if the top and bottom of the elevation line are parallel to the XY plane, its normal is parallel to the Z axis. You can change the orientation of the elevation line by aligning its normal with another axis. You can also rotate the elevation line on its plane by changing the rotation angle.

  1. Double-click the elevation line you want to relocate.
  2. On the Properties palette, expand Basic Location.
  3. Click Additional Information.
  4. Specify the location of the elevation line:
    If you want to… Then…
    relocate the elevation line enter new coordinate values under Insertion Point.
    locate the elevation line on the XY plane make the normal of the elevation line parallel to the Z axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Z, and enter 0 for X and Y.
    locate the elevation line on the YZ plane make the normal of the elevation line parallel to the X axis: under Normal, enter 1 for X, and enter 0 for Y and Z.
    locate the elevation line on the XZ plane make the normal of the elevation line parallel to the Y axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Y, and enter 0 for X and Z.
    change the rotation of the elevation line enter a new value for Rotation Angle.
  5. Click OK.
