User functions col_def, niv_def y alt_def use the entmake functionto generate Blocks that include graphic objects and both visible and invisibletext attributes. To use this program you may download it from the Attached document link at the bottom of this page. Save the file with the name BLK-DEF.LSP in a directory that figures in the ACAD environment variable(for instance, SUPPORT). To inspect the contents of this variable type in the command line (getenv "ACAD"). To load it type (load "BLK-DEF")

Definition of Block NIV_ID
This block includes a POINT marker and a visible text attribute and will be used to annotate terrain heights.
