RE: [MI-L] Contours with Z values to Dwg/Dxf

Hi,

Use FME for this.  The '3DForcer' transformer will allow you to choose a
field that contains your Z levels.

A 3D DWG should be created.

Cheers Ian

Subject: [MI-L] Contours with Z values to Dwg/Dxf

Listers,

I have a set of contours (polylines) in MapInfo (UTM), all containing
Height
as a property value. I want to convert/export them for use in AutoCad
with
all 3 dimensions. 

Is it possible to do this using Table->Export or UT ? I don't see any
option
for preserving my height value as "Elevation" 

FME is an option. A FME workspace should be able to do it?

I did this once with AutoCAD Map. I forget the exact steps, but
basically I imported the MIF file and then ran a "modify" query in
AutoCAD Map which copied the field that contained the elevation value
in MapInfo to the Z value of the polyline.

AutoCAD map is a fairly spendy add-on to AutoCAD. They used to have
(and may still have) a fully functional 30 day demo.
