Featured Dilemma:
Making 3D drawings 2D
Jim,

I imported a drawing from my civil engineer. I am using autcad lt 97.  When I try to fillet lines it gives me the "lines are not coplaner message".  When I try to fill with a hatch it says "not valid boundry". What is going on, and how can I get everything co-planer short of  re-drawing the entire drawing?

Frederick,

You have just expeirenced your first 3D drawing. I'm not sure if Lt 97 has lisp support but, you need a lisp routine called flatten.
Flatten will solve all
your problems you can get a copy at
www.cadalog.com or the West Texas Users Group

Good luck
Jim
