Uhanam Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I'd like to know if there's an automatic way to move multiple entities to a specific plane. For example, in my drawing, I have lines placed at different heights and I would like to move them all to the same plane, so that instead of having a 3D drawing I’d have a 2D drawing. I'm using AutoCAD 2007. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 It sounds like you only want to move some objects not all. Is that correct? And you basically want them to have a "Z" of 0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Did you know you can extract 2D views of 3D objects? Would that be of any use to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 ReMark, are you talking about Flatshot? Does this only work for a 3d solid? uhanam, are you trying to keep your 3d lines as well as your 2d projection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I want to move them all. And yes, to the z=0 plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhanam Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Did you know you can extract 2D views of 3D objects? Would that be of any use to you? Would I be able to modify the drawing afterwards? Or it would bee like taking a screenshot? ReMark, are you talking about Flatshot? Does this only work for a 3d solid? uhanam, are you trying to keep your 3d lines as well as your 2d projection? I want all the entities to be in the same plane, physically not just in a projection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Yes, Flatshot works only on 3D solids. If the OP just has 3D entitites and not solids then Flatshot is of no use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 You want to use the FLATTEN command then. I think you'll find it in Express Tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
