Problem
How to Change all elements to zero elevation when saving to DWG file.
Product: MicroStation V8, V8i and Connect
Version: All
Area: DWG
Solution
Go to DWG > Save options under the General tab, under "Advance" select
option to "Force Zero Z coordinate". The resulting DWG entities will
have z-coordinates of zero value.
This should only be used to save a 3D DGN file that represents a 2D drawing but in which some geometry may
contain non-zero values in their z-coordinate.
To set this by default create the variable:
MS_DWG_FORCE_ZERO_ZCOORDINATE
and set this to 1. Otherwise, it is off by default.
