    • What is Drawing Flattener?
      • Drawing Flattener is a tool designed to work with AutoCAD and AutoPLANT documents. 
    • What does Drawing Flattener do?
      • As the name implies, it will take drawings and flatten them.  More specifically, it will take a model that is inserted into Layout or Paperspace area in AutoCAD and then flatten those Viewports.  It will also remove hidden lines from the view.  The results of its work are placed into a file in the same folder as the file being flattened.  An example with a Before and After are displayed below.
