Hi,I have a problem with the lisp Elevation Marker Ann.I upload the lisp, I do all the steps, but in the end, the elevation showed is every time 0.00 and in the prompt it appears the following message:Pick Elev. point: Unknown command "056". Press F1 for help.I can not find the cause of the problem.Thanks.

This elevation marker lisp routine works.  I know....I've used it myself.Load the program, type the letters "em" at the command line, then press the Enter key.  It prompts the user to specify point.  Whether you are using an osnap to pick on a piece of geometry or you pick anywhere on your screen without using an osnap it will place the elevation marker symbol with the correct "Y" elevation and will continue to do so until you hit the ESC key or press the Enter key.The program was written by lisp guru Lee Mac and not by me so don't go asking me to make changes to it.  I don't do lisp programming.uploads/165260/ElevationMarkerV1-1.lsp

Thanks, but we are speaking about two different lisp.1) ElevationMarkerV1-1, written by lisp guru Lee Mac, and this works;2) Elevation Marker Ann, you can find here http://www.cadlispandtips.com/2011/10/lisp-elevation-marker.html, and it doesn't work!!!I am interested in Elevation Marker Ann

You wanted a lisp routine that works.  I gave you one.  My job is done.  If you want to stick with the one that doesn't work well so be it.  I'm not here to twist your arm.

Hello pelle89 and John, if you are working only in 2D you could use the command DIMORDINATE that you can eventually use in a drawing in millimetres giving elevations in meters like : +1250.003 m if you set a good dimstyle.Or you can work in feet giving elevations in what you want. DIMORDINATE is laying a real dimension with a grip at 0,0,0 and can be moved with STRETCH without losing its origin and then being updated correctly.

I already have what I need thanks.

Yes John that's what I suppose but it's also for pelle89 and I have to say that I have learnt so much here just reading CAD discussions.

I went and downloaded the lisp routine that pelle89 refers to.  I used the APPLOAD command to load it.  I did the first step as per the instructions which was to invoke the EDAT command.  I followed that up by running the next command which was ELE.  I then picked a point on my screen and the elevation marker was inserted.  I repeated the ELE command four more times with no problem in all.  Bottom line...the program DOES work.I'd post an image but for some stupid ass reason you can no longer upload .png or .jpg files.  WTF?BTW...the program wants the user to PICK a point not type in an elevation like "056".There is also an elevation marker block here at the CADforum.KACENA.DWG - automatic elevation label (výšková kóta) for AutoCAD 2006 and higher (dynamic block sample).

The lisp works even on my colleague's pc but in mine no!!! and for this reason I'm writing here...to understand why.You can read here http://www.cadlispandtips.com/2011/10/lisp-elevation-marker.html that other people had the same problem but in the forum there is no answer!Then "056" is not what I wrote but what appears in prompt after picked a point on the screen. Here there is the link where you can download a screenshot with the problem:https://mega.nz/#!p4sWkBAD!Z8AqsE-7VTOZ0I-BDMc4ANJCX5O8kKdt0ZF8hlHHvlE

I gave you information about two other elevation markers so I suggest you try both and see what happens.  If all three don't work then I'd say try a REPAIR of your AutoCAD installation which is NOT the same as an uninstall/reinstall.

[/QUOTE]I read all the posts at the CAD Lisps and Tips website and noticed two other people said they had a similar problem to yours.  Now I ask you, did you notice anything unusual?  I did.  The owner of the website and person who wrote the lisp, Bijoy Manoharan, never replied to any of the posts that date all the way back to 2012.  Not one reply in four years.  I hope you weren't expecting an answer to your problem any time soon.

IF  I AM NOT  WRONGWHY PEOPLE CANT USE A BLOCK AS ELEVATION MARKER. WHICH I HAVE UPLOADED IN CAD/BIM BLOCKS.I THINK THIS IS EASY WAY ...

You're complaining that not enough people have downloaded the block that you created and uploaded to this website? 

sorry jhon i did nt complaint like that. actually many peoples r downloading  this block. thanks jhon

Then what was the point of your post?  Advertising you created a dynamic block to boost the download count?
