changing point block to match elev of attribute

[Mike (archive)]

I have an interesting problem.
I use a lisp to import coordinate files from the survey crew. The lisp inputs a block containing attributes for the Point number, Elevation and description. I usually have to change all of these points to a 0 elevation for drawing purposes.

Is there a lisp out there that will allow me to change the elevation of the point block back to the elevation designated in the elevation attribute. Say if the block it at 0 elevation, but the attribute says it is at 503.83 elevation. I'd like to be able to run a lisp that would place that block back at the proper elevation in space.

maybe there is something out there that can be adapted to use my attributes.

Attributes used are:
ELEV
POINT
DESC.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks Terry....
I allways look in toolpac first. Guess I didn't look deep enough. I probably need to memorize the manual!
