The Flat Fantastic
Here’s a handy little tip for people who suddenly notice that the z-coordinates in their drawing aren’t quite as close to 0 as they should be.
There is a file called flattenez.lsp, which I have put on both servers, that will pretty much obliterate all the z-coordinates in a drawing. To run the file you need full AutoCAD (not LT). Type ‘appload’ as a command then browse to the ACAD Settings folder on the server and double-click on flattenez.lsp. Now you can type ‘flatten’ in the drawing and your worries will be over.
Veterens of the ‘other’ flattn.lsp will notice that this one isn’t quite so polite - it doesn’t ask what you want flattening, and it doesn’t ask twice… use with caution. On the other hand, it does work very effectively. Combine this with explode and smash (another .lsp) and 3D topographical surveys will weep 2-dimensional tears at your feet.
Any problems. just email me.
