Flatten Failure |
|
|
I am working on an Architectural Site Plan, in which we xref a Civil Site Plan. When laying out a new parking curb, I had used "Near" and selected an existing Civil Curb. Opps, I find the line is at a -677' in the z-coordinate, so it won't fillet with another curb I drew at 0-coordinate. No problem I thought. I just used a "flatten" lisp to flatten it. Opps. No, I get an AutoCAD Message, "LIne entity encountered and not flattened!" Am I using some cheap flatten commmand that can't flatten a line? I wasn't trying to flatten any of the xrefed file, just the new line I had created. Any ideas out there? Read Ya Later -KLYPH

| Instead of using the flatten command for one line, you should of just changed the z coordinate to zero. |

Of course you're right, but it is worse than I had let on. I had alread drawn many curbs and dividing lines all at numerous wrong z-coordinates, depending on the z-coordinate of the Civil curb I had chosen at any particular time. So, when I select the many lines I've drawn, the Properties does not display the z-coordinate line since there are so many different ones. Again, I wonder if anyone has a better flatten command?

Couldn't you sort (in the properties box) to just select the lines? It
should show the z-coords box, it should show *varies*......

if properties box shows "z" elev.. as varies then replace it with "0" and
all points should then be return to "0" elev.

| Matt, our office may have some setting that is set differerntly than yours. If we choose multiple objects with different z-coordinates, the "z" box is no longer displayed. I wish the "z" box was shown empty for me to insert "0" but not on my computer. So, I have been selecting the objects one at a time and inserting "0" into both the beginning "z" box and the ending one. I have searched the Express Tools Help and there is no "flatten" and the same with the standard Help. Any help out there? Thanks, Read Ya Later -KLYPH |
