    Question Polylines - 0 elevation with actual elevation in attributes

    I have inserted a shapefile of contours (that are actually polylines) into an Autocad (Civil 3d 200 drawing. The polylines have an elevation of 0, but each polyline has attribute data attached to it that displays an elevation value. Is there a way to adjust the elevation of the polylines to the attribute data values of each polyline? I have attached a small piece of the drawing that I am using so that you can see what I am trying to do. Thank you in advance for your help and answers.

    Just to clarify, that is Object Data attached to each polyline.
    Here is how to do it. I have used type in commands since it's easy to explain.
    There are other methods for accessing these commands.
    I also assume that you either have or know how to create a Map "Alias" drive.


    --------------------------------------------------------
    Open a NEW, EMPTY drawing in MAP.
    Run the command ADEDRAWINGS
    Attach the contour drawing.
    Run the command ADEQUERY
    Click Alter Properties
    Click on Elevation
    In the Expression area, click on the Expression button.
    Expand Object Data
    Click on ELEV
    Click OK
    Back in the Expression Area, click ADD
    Click OK
    Back to the main dialog...
    Under Query Type, click Location
    Boundary Type = All, then click OK
    Under Query Mode, select Draw.
    Click the Execute Query button.
    Save this new drawing - it contains the contours at the real elevation.
    Done.
