This is kind of a wierd question, but we do all of our work in 2d. Afew years ago we used some vendor drawings that had some lines out in space that when viewed from the top looked like regular lines but we noticed that they didn't interesect because really they are on different planes. Some of these drawings continue to plague our current jobs. There was a comand that broguht everything back to one level but no one can rememmber what it was.. Please Help. It seems like a pretty basic problem but it's quite frustrating.

Thanks
