Force line segment to have zero elevation end points during creation

[tadthurston725387]

Hi all,
When I draw a line (not polyline) over a surface, the line picks up the surface elevation at its end points. If I do not want this feature, how do I shut it off? I just want the end points to be at zero elevation.
Thanks,
TT

Set OSNAPZ to 1.

Set Osnapz to 1 and it will ignore the elevation. To have it use the elevation set Osnapz to 0. I have macro set up to toggle between the 2 settings.

I made a new command and added to the right click menu

this is the macro - ^C^C(setvar 'osnapz (abs (1- (getvar 'osnapz))))

I have also added the following to acaddoc.lsp to display the value on the toolbar

(setvar "MODEMACRO" "OSNAPZ = $(getvar, osnapz)")
