# Flatshot [GstarCAD 2019](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2019/Index.md) → [What's new](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2019/What's%20new/(What's%20new).md) ## Flatshot With FLATSHOT command you can create a 2D representation of all 3D objects based on the current view.The edges of all 3D solids, surfaces, and meshes are projected line-of-sight onto a plane parallel to the viewing plane. The 2D representations of these edges are inserted as a block on the *XY* plane of the UCS. This block can be exploded for additional changes.  **Flatshot Dialog Box**  **Destination:** Controls where the flattened representation is created.Insert As New Block:Specifies to insert the flattened representation as a block in the current drawing. **Replace Existing Block:**Replaces an existing block in the drawing with the newly created block. **Select Block:** Closes the dialog box temporarily while you select the block you are replacing in the drawing. When you finish selecting the block, press Enter to re-display the Flatshot dialog box. **Block Selected / No Block Selected:** Indicates whether a block has been selected. **Export to a File:**Saves the block to an external file. **Foreground Lines:**Contains controls for setting the color and linetype of lines that are not obscured in the flattened view. **Color:**Sets the color of lines that are not obscured in the flattened view. **Linetype:**Sets the linetype of lines that are not obscured in the flattened view. **Obscured Lines:**Controls whether lines that are obscured in the drawing are displayed in the flattened view, and sets the color and linetype of these obscured lines. **Show:**Controls whether obscured lines are shown in the flattened representation. When selected, the 2D flattened representation displays lines hidden by other objects. **Color:**Sets the color of lines that lie behind geometry in the flattened view. **Linetype:**Sets the linetype of lines that lie behind geometry in the flattened view **Include Tangential Lines:**Creates silhouette edges for curved surfaces. **Create:**Creates the flattened view. --- Gstarsoft Co.,Ltd ## Other versions with matching text [GstarCAD 2017](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2017/What's%20new/Flatshot.md) · [GstarCAD 2018](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2018/What's%20new/Flatshot.md) · [GstarCAD 2020](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2020/What's%20new/Flatshot.md)
