DRAW_DISTANCE_3D
Insert text with the distance in three dimensions (3D) between two digitized points, accounting for their elevation difference.
Parameters
Does not accept parameters.
Notes
Digitize the first point. A temporary line appears between it and the cursor. Digitize the second point to calculate their distance, insert text with that distance, and end.
Place text at the midpoint between the two points, rotated along the line joining them, with height TH, justification JT, and decimal places NDEC.
Calculate the distance in space (X, Y, Z coordinates) with the drawing's geographic calculator, as with MEASURE_SEGMENT_XYZ: with a geographic reference system, the distance is expressed in working units rather than degrees. It includes the effect of the points' elevation difference. For plan distance alone, use DRAW_DISTANCE.
