Computers have been known to die suddenly.  Accidents happen.

So rather than fix the problem or buy you a new computer the company would rather you waste your time and their money trying to cope with the myriad of problems you have been having?  That does not make good business sense.  Can anyone other than yourself see this as being a waste of money?

Just for laughs what are your computer specs?

With all the problems you are experiencing I would suggest a radical approach.  Wipe the drive clean and reinstall everything.  Figure a day to do it.

AutoCAD 2011.  OK.  You have four options available to you.

1. SectionPlane
2. Flatshot (not Flatten)
3. SolView/SolDraw
4. SolProf

With a move to 2012 you would have one more called View Base.

And just how do you go about flattening your 3D models to obtain your 2D views?

hahaha guess I said it wrong...i want to erase the viewports, and take the geometry out and flatten it all for 2d...the other guys i work with dont know 3D so they say get rid of it. but when I do, it skews all crazy like and I gotta keep going back to the 'top' view, cause autocad defaults the commands to that view...thats where the viewcube comes in handy...but its never there!!

tried NAVCUBE, cubesettingsanwhatnot, all that...
