Are you talking about the ribbon? Just type RIBBON at the command prompt to get it back.

Sure. Download the attached file. Right-click on it and choose RENAME. Remove the .txt at the end leaving just flatten.lsp and you should be good to go.

John, thanks so much for responding. i really just want to flatten because i only work in 2D and cant even extend on some lines. i did try EXPRESSTOOLS and it is an unknown command. I will try to download express from my CD. Can you just help me on the flatten part??

Which problem do you want to solve first? Express Tools or being able to flatten 3D geometry to 2D geometry? I know of another flatten lisp routine written by Mark Middlebrook that should work.
.
One other thing I thought of. Did you try typing EXPRESSTOOLS at the command line? Edited by John Connor - 24.Mar.2011 at 15:13 |
