Will this cure the problem of all the polyline entities coming in on layer
0?  Currently, when opening the .dxf in AutoCad (Map2000), it creates layers
by elevation value, but places all of the entities on the 0 layer.

Hi Pedro,

Thankyou for pointing out this problem.  The format for each VERTEX in dxf
files exported by ER Mapper is as follows:

VERTEX
8
100
10
474857.429000
20
3656686.000000
62
19
0

I have checked the Vertex group codes in the AutoCAD online help, and
confirmed that ER Mapper is not exporting the height attribute.  If the
height attribute was exported, the format of each vertex would appear as
follows:

VERTEX
8
100
10
474857.429000
20
3656686.000000 30
30
100.000
62
19
0

where the Vertex group codes 10, 20 and 30 are used to store x, y and
z(height) coordinates respectively in DXF files.

I will provide you with an estimate next week of when we can fix this
problem.

Dear all;

I sorry my English is a little poor.

Ermapper 6 > We generate the elevation model of a .txt (X,Y,Z), then we
generate contours and we save them to vector layer to export them to format
.dxf with the option export layers (all), but when opening the .dxf in
Autocad the contours have height zero (0).
When exporting the contours to .dxf the attribute of the height is taken as
name of the layer.

The question is:
How exporting the contours to .dxf and when opening the file in Autocad the
contours they have their corresponding height, to see it in 3D.
