Is there a way to automatically remove the third dimension
I have an old program that I use sometimes and after conversions from dwg to .shp andafter that I still have to use an avenue-macro to continue the conversion to an 2d shapefile
Solved
Esri conversion polygonz (3D) to polygon (2D)

The Shape feature type properties dialog has a setting for geometry type.
I thnk we automatically set this according to the data being written. So - as others have said - the 2DForcer would be the way to go. Then your data is 2D and the file is 2D.
But: Prior to 2016 there were separate options for shape_polygon and shape_polygonz. I expect shape_polygonz would write a 3D file, even if the data was forced to 2D.
So, if you are using 2015 or earlier, make sure to open the feature type dialogs and change from polygonz to polygon as well.

Can you explain more, I have found an option in the writers-dialog in Workbench
Shape File Type(2D (ArcView 3.0), 2D + Measures, 3D + Measures)
Is that the option you are meaning or where?
thanks in advance
