I am trying to get a simple area in autocad 2004 lt.
When I connect the points I get a message that says the points had differing
z points. I am in 2d mode and all line properties show "0" z coordinate
values. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Kevin

Properties only displays to the nearest rounding point: actually highlight
every Z entry, and manually type 0 to confirm.

If that still does not work, in the LT discussion areas are posted several
macros you can use to flatten entities in other ways.

2D mode means nothing if you are selecting points that are not on the same
plane. AutoCAD and LT work in all three directions.

Also, check your linear precision display LUPREC. Set it t 8 to display a higher accuracy for ID.
