Years ago there was a command in AutoCAD full version that was named "Flatten" to put all the lines on the same reference work plane. Was it an "Express Tool"?
Do the new AutoCAD LT have a similar command?
It is an Express Tool only?
Thanks in advance.

There is no Flatten command in LT. HOWEVER you can approximate it by putting the following in a button
^C^C_move;_all;;0,0,0;0,0,1e99;_move;_p;;0,0,0;0,0,-1e99;

Thanks for your reply.
We use AutoCAD LT 2015 and Windows 10. Where and/or how that approximate command is put on a button?
Is that the only command available to put all the loose lines on the same work plane?
Also, is there a similar command (that could be added to AutoCAD LT) to match the TXT2MTX of the full version of AutoCAD?
Thanks again.

You can also use PROPERTIES to bring objects down to Z=0 too: that's not all FLATTEN command does in full AutOCAD, so be aware nothing actually gets flattened, just moved.
Note that the macro posted above only tries to move objects to Z-0 but there is a risk it will fail (it has here often) and will require a second and third macro to correct.
There is nothing like, and you cannot create anything like TXT2MTXT in LT. If you need both full features on both commands you need access to full AutoCAD.

There is no txt2mtxt equivalent in LT
Look at the following image to find out where to put the command I gave you

Thanks to all who answered.
Dean, your advise about using the PROPERTIES to bring the objects down worked for all elements except for the "splines".
Any advise about the "splines"?

You'll need to convert them to PLINE objects first.

That macro also fails with arcs that are not 100% planar with the UCS, but you will quickly find out if you zoom extents and find that your drawing disappears.

This macro used to work with earlier versions of Autocad LT, but it appears that this macro is no longer useful with Autocad LT 2017. Has anyone else have luck with flattening lines in the newer versions of LT?

That Macro always worked well on the drawings i used, but seems to have stopped working on Autocad 2018LT, any body have any ideas. That changing all the Elevations to 0 macro didn't work for me.

Use the CHANGE command.
Type ALL to select all objects and then Enter.
Type P for Properties.
Type E for Elevation.
Type 0 and then a final Enter to end the command.
Note: This will not work on complex objects such as 3D objects.

Where did my reply go, what's going on. That new z co-ord flatten technique listed elsewhere change,all,p,e,0 just worked for me on two non zero test lines. Only press enter twice to get from All to properties option, press enter twice at the end instead of once to bring a smooth landing to your command exit and make the changes stick.
