    2010 Flatten command no longer available.

    What happened to the flatten command in 2010?
    Entering "flatten" on the command line brings up "unknown command".
    We receive a lot of drawings from architects & enginners that do not use AutoCad.
    As a consequence these drawings when imported to Autocad have objects and lines on differnet position than Z=0.
    For what we are doing the flatten command quickly sorted out any problems by bringing everything back to z=0.
    Can anyone help??
    Please use plain text.

    I haven't used Flatten command since I got 2010. Just tried it and it
    didn't work as expected but Superflatten did. If you want this lsp
    routine (superflatten) contact me at wengleattitaniumnetworksdotnet

    its part of the express tools and is still there in 2010 under the express folder (flatten.lsp and flattensup.lsp).

    attached is superflatten.lsp.

    " Flatshot "       it's a long shot away from FLATTEN command.
