How do you convert a 3D Polyline to a 2D Polyline?
You can use the FLATTEN command to convert a 3D Polyline to a 2D Polyline . FLATTEN projects the entities onto the X-Y plane of the current view, which in the case of a 3D polyline will convert it to a 2D Polyline.
Converting a 3D Polyline to a 2D Polyline will result in the loss of any Z coordinate values. If this information is important to you, then you should convert a COPY of the original 3D Polyline, rather than working with it directly.
