With as result I only have to push 1 button and the command is running.</div><div><br></div><div>But because I do not know at which moment my elevation is changing to another value, I want to combine this with the autosave. Otherwise I need to push the lettercombination from the created elevation lisp file after almost every action.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div>(excuse me for my English, but I hope you understand it)</div><div><br></div></div>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/member_profile.asp?PF=476408">Sandervp</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 10356<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 03.Jun.2014 at 13:59<br /><br />I also use another application in combination with AutoCad. It is called "StabiCad".<div><br></div><div>With this program I can draw elements which has to do with Air Heating/ Cooling, Water supply, sewerage... Everything from the&nbsp;<span style="line-height: 1.4;">mechanical engineering side.</span></div><div><br></div><div>When I want to draw an Air duct, I first need to insert a height. Have I done that, I can draw the duct. With other functions from that program, I can say, I want a 45<span style="color: rgb0, 0, 128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 20px;">Â°&nbsp;</span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">bend or a 90</span><span style="color: rgb0, 0, 128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 20px;">Â°&nbsp;</span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">bend to another height.</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.4;"><br></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.4;">For example; I start at z=3000 and after a 90</span><span style="color: rgb0, 0, 128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 20px;">Â° </span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">bend I want to go to z=4500.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.4;">This program needs heights to draw everything oke. Do I make a cross-over with 2 ducts and 1 duct is laying higher then the other, I see a yellow "hidden" linetype line at the point where they cross each other.</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.4;"><br></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.4;"><img src="uploads/476408/kruising.png" height="200" width="200" border="0" /><br></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.4;"><br></span></div><div>This image shows you 2 round air ducts which cross each other on a different height.</div><div><span style="line-height: 1.4;"><br></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.4;"><br></span></div><div>But when my elevation value is not 0 but suddenly something else, it isn't a z-value which I'd used with the other application.</div><div>For example; I'd drawed a sewer pipe on a height of 2500, I didn't choose another height. It is possible that the elevation value isn't 0 but 1873.456 or something else. In any case, not a height I had been used.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>That is why I want to combine the autosave and elevation command. To reduce this elevation problem.&nbsp;</div><span style="color: rgb34, 34, 51; font-family: ' Sans'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"></span>]]>

Would you change this lisp-routine? It does works.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>]]>

This variable jumps sometimes from Z=0 to an other Z value. The moment of changing is unknown to me.</div><div><br></div><div>I wan't to combine this elevation command with the autosave settings. Befor every autosave moment runs the elevation command first automatically.</div><div><br></div><div>Does anybody know how I can change this autosave variable/reactor?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>When AutoCad starts, 2 lisp files automatically runs. These 2, which I've created, do change my Osnapz setting into 0 and also my Elevation to 0.</div><div>The Osnapz setting is no problem. This doesn't change. But the elevation does.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm using Autocad 2014</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your help</div>]]>
