Jim

Jim,

I dont know if you're using IntelliCAD or not but the command for that program is FLATTEN, just type in your new elevation and it works just like the command in LDD. If you're running 2009 AutoCAD I can't help you, it used to be under the utilities menu but I don't know where it is now.

Ahh, on further inspection you posted this in the IntelliCAD section so I guess I answered my own question... Just type in FLATTEN and select everything in the drawing.

Hope that helps,

Huh ... I don't think that command was there before in Survey, just Civil ... I was still typing 3dto2d at the command line. I'll have to try and break that habit now. thanks for pointing that out!
