Z Axis and intersection points

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

Hopefully you can help me again....

Please see the attached dwg file.

It contains 2 lines, and was drawn in AutoCAD 2018 LT.

This is happening to me a lot and it’s so frustrating.  I can’t snap to the intersection point of the 2 lines.  I looks like the Z axis of the lines doesn’t line up.  But I can’t see in LT.

Is there a way around this? or a way to flatten the drawings?  The FLATTEN command doesn’t work in LT.

Thanks very much

Tom

First, you drew two PLINE objects with ELEVATION settings, not LINE objects.
If you EXPLODE them, they become lines: set UNITS precision to 0.0000000000 then use PROPERTIES command to see they both have Z settings that do not match.

If they need to stay PLINES, then set UNITS precision to 0.0000000000 then use PROPERTIES command to change ELEVATION setting to zero for both Plines.

BTW you seem to also have SNAP turned on: you can turn it off so the cursor doesn't jump around so much.

Correct one of the polylines has a Z value, but you need to change the precision with the command "units" to at least 5 decimal places before it shows up, as an elevation in the properties panel, where you can change it back to zero.

There is also a macro used in LT to work in a similar way to the Flatten command, but it should be used with great caution.

Thanks Both, really helpful. 

Is there a way I can sent the Z axis for loads of lines and objects (blocks etc)?

On another topic, and this only happens in ACAD, when I minimise my window to do other things then maximise it again it’s not full screen, and I have to click it to maximise again. Only minor, but frustrating. 

Thanks again,

Tom

1) PROPERTIES command?
2) No real fix, but try these tips https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/AutoCA...
