I'm using AutoCad 3D 2009, I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to track the elevations of a surface. I'm able to do it in Land Desktop companion 2009. I just cant seem to find it in Civil 3D 2009. Did they do away with this? Any tips are helpful.

Thank you

Select your Surface > Rt. Click > Surface Properties > Show tool tips.
Also works for Alignments and other objects.

I have tool tips checked off in Surface properties. I understand I can see the elevations min & max there. I was looking for a elevation tracker. Where you hover the mouse over the surface and it will give a readout of the elevation in the lower left of the screen, where the northing and easting show up. (x,y,z) Could it be anywhere else? Or is this it?
 
Turn Tool tips on and hover... they'll show in a box on screen.
