Hello,

When using the shift tool to shift the Z axis, only Z axis coordinates are changed. If you need to shift other addresses as well, then you will need to use the Address Adjustment tool. To keep it simple you could use a script like the one I've attached. It asks for a Z shift amount and then runs the shift tool followed by the address adjust tool to shift the "R" values. To use this script, unzip it and place it in the \Program Files\NCPlot v2.07\Scripts folder.

Thanks,
Scott
