ok so this is what i have done. i found a friend who has autcad 2008 .. opened the file and command: FLATTEN .... it worked for one file but not the other... I not sure why. any suggestions or anyone willing to try it out? also i would like to find out how to fix this problem without depending on older versions... 

Thanks for all the help.

Make sure that the contors you trying to flatten arent locked under your layer manager. I found that to be the case with the file you posted. 

[#4]

your correct. the layers were locked however, after unlocking them still could not get it to work.

[#5]

hey your file need to be unlocked then you can do the flatten

ok

Once you export them this should work

try exploding it while you are on the top view.

what i suggested was only for MEP  3D objects. i saw your uploaded drawing and i would suggest you to make the start/end z elevation equal. i have tried it and it works (see attached). you have to spend some of your time since you cannot select all in one go so you have to select by group or each line.
