If you are using the ‘UK English’ version of Civil 3D the command will be ‘Move Text to Level’.Īdd the text points to the surface from Prospector as below. This will make the Z coordinate for the text equal to the text content. On the contextual ribbon, click on ‘Move Text to Elevation’ and select the text objects. Select the surface from Prospector to show the contextual ribbon. If the Prospector palette is not showing, click on the two red boxes as shown in the screenshot below so that they are highlighted. So, the below steps guides you how to achieve that goal.Ĭreate a new empty surface by right-clicking on Surfaces in Prospector as shown below.

However, AutoCAD Civil 3D doesn’t include a built-in tool to convert points represented as AutoCAD text into COGO points. COGO points can be stored in a project outside a drawing and referenced by multiple users. COGO points, in addition to coordinate data, have a variety of properties associated with them, including point number, point name, raw (field) description, and full (expanded) description. The points created by AutoCAD Civil 3D are called Coordinate Geometry (COGO) points, which are very different from AutoCAD point nodes.
