    Posted: 23.Jul.2013 at 12:53
Hi All,
 
 Just wondered if anybody else has experienced the following:
 
 I am trying to flatten a bit of 3D furniture to insert it as a block onto an exhibition stand and AutoCAD grey screens out and I have to crash out of it after a while as it is obviously not going to recover form not flattening. I have more than one drawing open when I crash out.
  Upon re-starting a-cad gives me a window telling me it crashed and opens recovery manager. I now discover that AutoCAD in it's infinite wisdom has decided to turn of my auto back-ups four days ago so none of the drawings I had open (or had open up to four days ago ) has been backed up.
 
 Not sure why is takes it upon itself to make these changes to my system but would love to know.
 
 NOTE TO USERS; if your machine crashes you should check your auto back-up straight away to ensure it is still on..

I've crashed my computer using AutoCAD but I have never had the program decide on its own to turn off the auto save feature.

So did you ultimately flatten that piece of furniture or not?

Yes, but I open another copy of autocad and just let it run in the background, and instead of 'flatten' I 'flatshot'ed.

You could also use any of the following to produce a 2D view:

SectionPlane
SolfProf
SolDraw/SolView
ViewBase

But I suppose you knew that already right?

Yes I was aware of those commands, but you know what it is like when you hit enter then suddenly think 'arse' wrong command.
 
 Thanks
