points

[sturner]

o.k. another crazy idea for ya all. this might do better in the customize forum but it is LDD related so i stuck it here.
is it possible to change the block LDD uses for point description, elevation and number to display the elevation in this format:
+50050
where the underline portion is superscript. I've got the file LDD uses to insert points but i do not want to spend a lot of time if this is just another pipe dream.
thanks,
Sean

About the only way I could see that being done is with a lisp routine that you run after you insert the points and search the value in {elevation} for a period to populate attributes in a custom block. The string before the . would be full height and after would be half height with an underscore.

As it isn't a block that you are trying to modify
those points are ARX Objects it is highly doubtful
that you will be able to achieve this.

You could probably do it with an XDREF point label style
which would be a block that reads the data from a database
with the whole elevation in one field and the fractional portion in
another although you would possibly need to also insert a block
for the underline portion or define a complete set of numbers
in a new text shape file that included the underline as part of the
character definition.
