    Architect needs help with survey drawings

    We use Arch Desktop 3.3 on win2k Pentium 4, 2.4 Ghz machines w/ 512 Mb ram.
    Frequently we have problems with drawings crashing, and being very difficult
    to recover. Our recovery method is to open each of the xrefs, and the title
    sheet, and wblock out all the graphics to a new drawing, and re-assemble the
    xrefs. I think the problem is in the xref of the survey, for it's sheer size
    ( 8 Mb) and it's 3D info.

    I'd like to find a way to remove the 3D info from the survey. There used to
    be a flatten, or Project (as in projection to a zero elevation) utility I
    used, but that was long ago and would no longer work, I'm sure (even if I
    could find it).

    Anyone have a suggestion?

    You would probably get more response from the ADT groups.
    This group is specifically for the now defunct "Field
    Survey" program.

    Thanks, I will post it there.

    Was also intrigued by the reference to zeroz.lsp. Apparently that routine
    would change entities with an extrusion elevation to a zero elevation? Where
    do I find it?
