3D to 2D in AutoCad

3D to 2D in AutoCad

(OP)
Does anybody know an easy way to "crush" 3D objects to 2D in Autocad 2000i? I'm consulting with a company that has received some AutoCad drawing from a client that has 3 objects that apparently aren't models. The objects don't have faces and can not be shaded but have depth. I'm assuming they're wireframe. I'd hate to redraw but don't know any other way. Is it as easy as selecting the object and somehow changing the 'z' dimension to zero?

Thanks - I appreciate the help. Dave

Hi dadelar,

If you have the express tools, use the flatten command.  If not check out either caddepot.com or cadshack.com, one of these sites will have a similiar routine you can use.
