Non coplanar lines in 2D drawings

[a_meteni]

Sometimes I get files from other users that contain some lines having different Z values. I've always used FLATTEN command to solve this problem.


Now I'm thinking to add this line to ACADDOC.LSP (COMMAND "OSNAPZ" "1") to prevent more such errors


Which is better? ACADDOC or screaming with the Flatten command

The flatten command will rename EACH instance of your blocks to another unique name. Be careful in how you set it up.

Hi "a_meteni" ( Sorry, I do not know your real name )

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

Personal opinion...

Prevention is always better than a cure ( fix ).

Have a good one, Mike

Note that OSNAPZ only forces object snaps to the current elevation. If you want that elevation to be zero, you would need to ensure that also.

As Mike said, maybe education is the first step.

Ofcorse I only use it with required objects only. I never select all with the flatten command
