FLATSHOT Failed

[Karol-Or]

I get the prompt:

FLATSHOT operation did not generate any geometry

Hi,

for me (AutoCAD 2017 Update 1.1) it's working, with exact the state you have used while saving the file.

So something seems to be different ... let's start with AutoCAD version and service pack you are using.

Maybe a screenshot can help after you started command _FLATSHOT so we can see your settings.

Hi,

I try Flatshot and every this is going fine (see attached image)

I notice that there is an xref files attached,maybe xref files are the reason for failed operation.

Hi,

>> I notice that there is an xref files attached

That are TIFF files, not drawings, so these are not involved in the _FLATSHOT command 😉

Hi @Karol-Or,

I too had no problem with FLATSHOT in AutoCAD 2017

I also tested in 2014-2016 without error.

Are you receiving any error messages?Are you exporting to a file? If so, is the file location accessible and do you have permissions to write data there?

Ver 2013, i don't find the service pack version, where?

I tried FLATSHOT with Insert as Block option instead of writing to a file with no help, same message

Hi @Karol-Or,

I am not sure why your Flatshot isn't behaving when the rest of us seem to get this to work without any problems.

Just for another option, I used Viewbase to generate views of your model and then did an EXPORTLAYOUT. Perhaps that will help.
