2D drawing full with 3D points

[nicolasoterob]

Hi guys,

I have an entire 2D project full with 3D points.

Lines, polylines, blocks etc... with z coordinates.

Properties manager dosent solve the problem and flatten kind of distroys my xrefs.

Sometimes even 2 Z=0 elements are consider not to be coplanar.

Is there any way to solve these? I´m seroiusly thinking of starting from zero....

Thanks

Try this

^C^C_move;_all;;0,0,0;0,0,1e99;_move;_p;;0,0,0;0,0​,-1e99;

Since Flatten involves object selection, would it work to have something build a selection set of everything except Xrefs, and using Flatten on that selection?  Try it manually, with a limited selection of things you know are off, and not including any Xrefs, and see whether it corrects those appropriately.

Thanks man,

I tired it, and Its virtually a big bang.

Great portion of the drawing stayed in place, but about 10% of it went as far as jupiter. ZOOM extents prohibited...LOL

So its' dificult to verify objects current positions through views.

I'll left the file attached if anyone wants to check it out.

Look's like throw indivudual selection, flatten works. Although some blocks tend to colapse.

You need be careful when using FLATTEN because it creates different block definitions after changing same block instances.

I think it should be possible to make something that would select everything, and for Xrefs and Blocks, simply force their insertion points to a Z value of 0, and for everything else, apply Flatten.  Is that worth pursuing?

In these archive blocks dont response to properties positon. Its a vert slow process
