dimupdate and 3dto2d.lsp

[caduzer]

I've received 2 requests in my office: One is for the command "dimupdate" which doesn't so anything in AutoCAD and I was wondering why, or how I might get it to; and the other is a request for the command "3dto2d" which I know is an Autolisp routine which I cannot find on the Internet.

Anyone have any suggestions?

The first one try the following
Type the following in blue
dim
update
select the dimension objects you want updated.
exit

The second. Have you tried the express tools command Flatten Objects?

I'm looking into the "Dim-->update" command now. As far as the other one goes, the person who made the request is also looking for everything the be placed at an elevation of zero as well. I saw on the internet a reference to a lisp routine called "3dto2d.lsp" but I can't find it.

I have no idea where this came from, Use as a Macro

^C^C_select;all;move;p;;0,0,1e99;;move;p;0,0,-1e99''^M

I know it was on the discussion groups at one time or another.

- Scottah, this could be more than just using a single routine... read all about the fun with Flatten (http://forums.augi.com/search.php?searchid=312010) in over 60 threads on this board... or on the autodesk express (http://discussion.autodesk.com/search.jspa?numResults=25&inputEntered=true&source=viewforum%7C36&q=flatten&objID=f36)discussion group... or the autodesk vanilla (http://discussion.autodesk.com/search.jspa?numResults=25&inputEntered=true&source=forumlist%7C8&q=flatten&objID=c8)acad groups... Good luck. :)

Hi Scott

Please note I have *moved* this thread from the CAD Mgmt. General (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=119) forum to this one as I feel this particular Forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

Thanks, Mike
