    Bentley AutoPLANT Drawing Flattener

    The AutoPLANT Drawing Flattener is a tool that enables you to create flat DWG file that corresponds with a user-selected model layout stored in the source drawing (DWG file) with a user-defined scale. The drawing layout is a rendering of the flat drawing in the view only and cannot be edited. The Drawing Flattener creates AutoCAD 2D entities for the flattened drawing enabling you to edit the result. Therefore, you will see the creation of lines, arcs, circles, etc. in the flattened output.

    This application will operate with AutoCAD drawings (DWG files) only. The source for the application is DWG file(s) with layers, while the destination is DWG file(s) created according to the selected layer and scale of the drawings.
