djole Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 I have a problem: after few days of working in AutoCAD 2008 i saw that the drawing i made has an error. As you can see on the preview, some lines are in diffrent planes (the ones that i have red marked). How can i get them back to the "default" plane with other lines? img181.imageshack.us/img181/1070/autocadmistakeep8.jpg These past days i worked only in 1 Viewport, and as you can see, everything look alright (left Viewport at this image preview). But when i took from a diffrent angle i saw the mistake. This is just one example of the mistake, and they are all over my drawing. Help please. Thanks in advance. P.S. I don`t know if this is the right forum, for this kind of question. If it is, please forgive me, i am a begginer on this forum, so i will need some time to see how thing work here. Quote
ReMark Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 I took a look at the image but to tell you the truth I'm having a problem figuring out what I am looking at. Quote
CarlB Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 You can use the "flatten" command to force the z value of objects to 0. So all will be on the same "z=0" plane. Quote
djole Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 You can use the "flatten" command to force the z value of objects to 0. So all will be on the same "z=0" plane. I ran the "flatten" command. Then selected all lines (at right Viewport) that were not in X-Z plane (or X-Y if you are looking at the left Viewport). Then it asked me: "Remove hidden lines?" I said: "No". Then it took him a while to do this proccess. And at the end nothing happened. Here is the code: Command: flatten Select objects to convert to 2d... Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 311 found Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 311 found (311 duplicate), 311 total Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 210 found, 521 total Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 210 found (210 duplicate), 521 total Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 311 found (311 duplicate), 521 total Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 311 found (311 duplicate), 521 total Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 210 found (210 duplicate), 521 total Select objects: Remove hidden lines? <No>: A vertex was added to a 2D pline (0) which had only one vertex. A vertex was added to a 2D pline (0) which had only one vertex. Where is the problem? Quote
wannabe Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 I can't see your image but I'll have a stab in the dark and recommend you look into isometric snap and iso planes. Quote

wannabe Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 " isometric snap and iso planes" - what are those things? Isometric snap ensures your lines are drawn isometrically when ortho is on . The various planes are just the direction of view in simple terms. Quote
