You don't need to elevate the text. The elevation is extracted from the string. If you are in an elevation control, you can "pick" the text object and it will extract the elevation from the string.

@Gary Lantaff


I am not quite following you but so I created my points from the block associated with the elevation text from the provided CAD file. It only generates the correct location but not sure what to do to easily elevate them based on the text.

Oh, the text is inside a block. Could you attach the DXF the had the blocks?

@Gary Lantaff  I've attached the DWG. My goal is to create elevated points out of the spot elevation blocks. ​

In this file the text is not part of the block. so you have a block to show the location and a piece of text to display the elevation. In this case, both the blocks and the text is on the same layer. Just use the "CreatePointsFromSpotElevations" command. I think that this does exactly what you want.

Please note that this file has some areas where the "nearest" text is not the correct one. You will need to check the points elevation in these areas. If needed, just use properties on the points and then select the correct text object for the elevation.
