Another one from our friend Larry Howell at L&K Fire Protection (Marion, Illinois)
If you get a background drawing that has AEC objects in it, you might find that drawing takes forever to run through the AutoCAD FLATTEN command, or never completely flattens. Larry has discovered a command that will handle it for you:
- Open drawing with objects, I had 5 floors so it worked better wblock the floors separately
- Open new Wblock drawing and enter “-ExportToAutoCad or AECtoACAD”
- Left the “filename” default and hit enter
- Made a new drawing “ACAD-*”
- Converted a lot faster than flatten, converts AEC but leaves “REGION OBJECTS” but made a good clean drawing.
