Flattening out the Z co-ordinate

    Is it possible to totally flatten out a 3D file such as a survey to a flat
    2D drawing.

    The Z co-ordinate is causing problems with elements not being co-planar.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Cheers

    (defun C:FLATTEN ()
    (command "_.UCS" "")
    (command "_.move" "_all" "" '(0 0 1e99) ""
    "_.move" "_p" "" '(0 0 -1e99) "")
    (princ)
    )


    This doesn't work for everything though (but I haven't come across any other
    ways that do)
    If you have access oa copy of Microstation, it distinguishes between 2D & 3D
    files - A file that is set as 2D cannot accidentaly become 3D - Because of
    thisthere is a command to export a 3D file as a 2D one.
