AUTOCAD reset everything to Z=0?

Hello,

Is it possible to "flatten" a file where the lines go in all directions (understood, along the three axes) to obtain only a 2-dimensional file?

The problem is that by naively constructing my planes from a sub-plane where some elements were already misaligned along the Z-axis, I ended up with non-coplanar lines.

Dimensioning as well as hatching turns out to be very, very tricky...

    If they are just lines, texts, etc., use the flatten command that can be loaded from cadalog.com.
    Otherwise, I am also looking for a solution for 3D arcs and other circles...

      Thank you! It works perfectly!

      As for the curves, etc...
      Initially, I was thinking of getting a top view (and thus flattened...) and doing a simple copy-paste...
      I believe there is a tool to capture a 3D view and flatten it.
      We just need to choose a top view, in wireframe mode.

      Should we give it a try?

      Hello, I work with AutoCAD LT 2007, I had, and I emphasize had, a command (to reset all Z coordinates to 0) that used to work well, but the link with the explanations is no longer functional and redirects elsewhere :( .... it was this:

      and the command was something like this.
