Summary
The CP_FLATTEN command is used to convert selected objects to a zero elevation (Z = 0.0), effectively flattening them to a 2D plane. This is especially useful for cleaning up drawings where elements have unintended or varying elevations, helping maintain a consistent, flat workspace.

Key features include:
- Elevation Reset: Sets the Z-coordinate of all selected objects to 0.0, ensuring a uniform, flat drawing surface.
- Ideal for 2D Workflows: Transforms 3D elements to a 2D plane, making it easier to work on layouts, plans, and other 2D designs.
- Supports Multiple Object Types: Can be applied to lines, polylines, arcs, circles, and other 3D entities that require flattening.
The CP_FLATTEN command is essential for CAD professionals needing to create consistent 2D representations, particularly in drawings where varied elevations disrupt the design flow or accuracy.
