Hello!
As I got som nice tips on how to update and slightly modify Nicolas nice little .LSP last week I thought I could update it here as well, to all of you.

What has been done is:
Additional functionality to get the "temp line" erased automatically when the contours has been modified.
Also changed to fit non-english versions. (Hopefully)

Here it is, the new version:
Download file

Use "Appload" to get the lisp loaded in to C3D. Then use the command "chelev".

Please see last post on the general functionality:

  • If you'd add pt1 after the getpoint of pt2 you could "see" the temp line before it is actualy drawn, to let you know where it is going to be placed. The third line currently says:
    (setq pt2 (getpoint " End of fence line - high point")) "")

    The third line should be:
    (setq pt2 (getpoint pt1 " End of fence line - high point")) "")

    Otherwise a great command!

    Maybe a future enhancement would be an option to select contour label text or mtext as the contour pline elevation.
