AutoCAD Tip

How to list an endpoint or vertex elevation using Grips

1. Grip an object.
2. Hover your cursor over a grip.
3. Look at your Z value in the coordinate display.

That's so simple. Now consider some of the ways you may have tried to accomplish that task without using grips.

1. Grip an object then right click and choose Properties
2. Type List. Then select an object. Then read through several lines of output until you see Z:...
3. Type ID. Then snap to an endpoint.
