djole Posted January 15, 2009 Share 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.

ReMark Posted January 15, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlB Posted January 15, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djole Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabe Posted January 15, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannabe Posted January 18, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipsophrenic Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Try using this LISP here. http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2019 If you're not sure on LISPs then this quick tutorial should show you how to use them. http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1390 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
