Hello.... newbie here & i has a ?

How do I place object lines on a general plane that was converted from a 3d station?

I'm currently operating acad Mechanical.

thank you in advance,

You need to set your UCS origin to the plane's elevation. After you're done remember to return it to WCS. I also would advise always keeping your UCS icon on.

Patrick - did you post the first angle / third angle projection bowl image a while back? I meant to save the link but didn't. If you could post again or the link I would be grateful.

Thanks,

well the thing is I have a vendors acad file of a part and when I view the detail layout (flat), it looks great. But when I attempt to snap a line or a dim to part of their layout it dosn't grab because the object is on a different plane. This particular drawing has object properties in multyple planes and it's driving me nuts. Is there a way where I can simply select all objects and pull them to WCS?

Sorry for the lengh of my tiny dilema.

Thanks again

rkent, yes it was me. Here's the link: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?62835-Is-this-a-first-angle-or-third-angle-projection/page2

There is something called Flatshot (but I think that's for working with solids) else "Flatten" ?

Thanks, sorry for the hijacking.
