    Default Set Feature Line Default to Elevation

    When creating a feature line I am prompted to enter an elevation on my first point but after I enter the elevation, the prompt asks for a grade next. This is so frustrating when you don't remember to change it back to elevation. Does anyone know if there is a way to set the default to continue the prompts for elevation?

    hi
    read the command line prompts you can change it each time and it holds the last input

    I do it that way but wondered if there was a way to change the default.

    You would probably have to roll your own "make feature line" command.

    Some sample code that may get you headed in the right direction is here.

    set your OSNAPZ to Zero and it should remember the elevation of the point, then E for elevation (will also remember the elevation of the point).
