If you prefer to change System Variable from the command line, it is saved in OSNAPZ variable. Check Replace Z value with current elevation. You can set it in AutoCAD options, Drafting Tab. It will not fix existing drawing, but at least you will not having a bigger problem. If you only with 2D drawing, it is a good idea to set Object Snap to ignore Z value. The problem won’t just go away it would be harder to work with it when it gets more complicated! Preventing this Issue But if you need to continue working on this drawing, I suggest you fix it. You will need to open each block in block editor and change the Z value using the procedure above. The real challenge is when you have blocks with the objects inside it have different Z value.

Repeat the procedure for other object types. For example, blocks elevation is defined by Position Z. The elevation field is named differently. We can ignore them because they don’t have elevation. Select an object type, except for dimensions and hatches. Open Properties Palette.īecause we select multiple types of objects, we will not see the Z or elevation properties here.Ĭlick the object drop-down list. We need to change the Z value for our objects to 0 (zero). Selecting all objects at once can make your computer slow or crash. For a very complex drawing, you may want to do this gradually. Or you can select only objects that have elevations from elevation view. If you use AutoCAD LT or AutoLISP doesn’t work for your drawing, you can try to fix it manually.

You may want to try them both and see which one works well for you.

The problem is when the dimension is not associated with any object. If you use Associative Dimension, then you will be okay. The problem with SUPERFLATTEN is it doesn’t work with dimensions and OLE object.ĭimensions are a bit tricky because they don’t have elevation. If you want to try another solution, try SUPERFLATTEN by Joe Burke. However, because this program is very simple and not developed further, there are some minor issues with rotated blocks and hatches.
DRAFTSIGHT TUTORIAL FLOOR PLAN MAC
Lee Mac has many useful LISP program. This program is very simple and works very quickly.

If you are not familiar with using AutoLISP program, You can find the code in CADtutor forum here. My recommended tool for this problem is by using ALLFLAT by Lee Mac. But it never works well for this issue.īefore you continue, create a backup of your drawing! Using AutoLISP program There is a suggestion to use FLATTEN command to fix it. This is a 2D drawing, so it’s not supposed to look like this. If you rotate the drawing and see it from an elevation view, you will see the objects has elevations. But we never know, why the objects have Z value in the first place anyway. The probable cause is because you snap to an existing object with elevation. This is a classic issue with AutoCAD drawing: Sometimes you accidentally draw with elevation in your 2D drawing.
