HOW TO SAVE TEXT SETTINGS FOR THE LEVEL DIMENSION TOOL?

4hotshoes
Advisor

I want th level dim tool to show in reference to sea level. I can manually change the Autotext to do that, but I cannot figure out how to make it the standard for every time I use it. It seems as though the symbol and text are separate when saving them as a favorite or copying parameters. I do not want to have to manually change the text to read the sea level height of the mesh for every time I place the Level Dimension marker.

@4hotshoes If it helps you can select the associated text values of multiple markers and rt-clk to edit the text values in one hit rather than editing each one.

Does it work if you save a Favorite?

Did you try it?

You will be disappointed.

The favourite saves the level dimension settings, but not the text content.
