Sets elevation and extrusion thickness of new objects.
Access Methods
Command entry: 'elev for transparent use
Summary
The ELEV command sets the default Z value for new objects above or below
the XY plane of the current UCS. This value is stored in the ELEVATION system
variable.
NOTE Generally, it is recommended that you leave the elevation set to zero and
control the XY plane of the current UCS with the
UCS on page 1266 command.
ELEV controls only new objects; it does not affect existing objects. The
elevation is reset to 0.0 whenever you change the coordinate system to the
world coordinate system (WCS).
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Specify New Default Elevation The current elevation is the default Z value
for new objects when you specify only X and Y values for a 3D point.
Specify New Default Thickness The thickness sets the distance to which a
2D object is extruded above or below its elevation. A positive value is extruded
along the positive Z axis; a negative value is extruded along the negative Z
axis.
