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??

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

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