Changing 3D drawing to 2D LT Drawing

Hi

I am using AutoCAD LT 2009 and have been given a drawing to continue for my supervisor. He has started the drawing using 3D and I am finding this is very slow when I am working on it in LT. I have tried to cut and paste the drawing to a new AutoCAD LT drawing but all the dimension lines shoot accross the drawing and will leave alot of work for me to change.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

LT does not support 3D.

Can you get your supervisor to use the "flatshot" command to effectively give you 2D views.

e.g plan / elevations, etc.

Hi

Yes we have done this. The drawing is still slow:(

How big is the file size?

What are your computer specs?

Are you current with all available service packs and hotfixes?

I've notice that several times when i used the flatshot command that the file somehow seems to be slower, this can usually be a hardware issue.

I've never had any problems when i got my new computer.

Check for a bloated scalelist.

Purge the drawing using the command line option of -purge (it will purge more objects).
