What it does

Flat projects AutoCAD drawing objects onto the XY plane, including solids, meshes, surfaces, regions, bodies, faces, and curves. It can process objects inside blocks, arrays, and external references, and can convert certain 2D and 3D polylines to regular polylines. Projections can use the current UCS, with results assigned to MD_Visible and MD_Hidden layers unless that option is disabled. The command also supports configurable offset styles and can optionally delete the source object.
