How to remove ArcGIS Elevation Z-values

In ArcGIS, we use a bit of geometry, line, polygon, body (body, in the case of three dimensions), but outside of this, you may encounter a type with ZM, face ZM, which is similar to a polygon, but more than two fields more than polygons.

View the sketch properties in the edit to see Z-values and M-values. Z-values are used to store elevation attribute information, and M-values are used to store other property information, such as temperature, concentration, and so on. The data here is the CAD file turned around, all with elevation values, but no M-values.

From the WKT format below you can see that the possible types of geometric points are point, Pointz, POINTM, pointzm Four formats, Polyline, polygon is similar.

<point text>: = EMPTY | <Point> | Z <PointZ> | M <pointm>| ZM <PointZM><Point>: = <x> <y> <x>: = Double precision literal<y>: = Double Precisio N literal<pointz>: = <x> <y> <z> <x>: = Double precision literal<y>: = Double Preci Sion literal<z>: = Double precision literal<pointm>: = <x> <y> <m> <x>: = Double PR Ecision literal<y>: = Double precision literal<m>: = Double precision literal<pointzm>: = <x> &L T;y> <z> <m> <x>: = Double precision literal<y>: = Double precision literal<z>: = Doubl E precision literal<m>: = Double precision literal 

Topographic map data exported from AutoCAD, since most contain z information, so the type of the shape is a zm, sometimes, such as Mapgis software, it does not recognize the type of shapefile with ZM geometry, I estimate that his programmer is directly judged by the value of the field. So how do we remove the geometry type with ZM?

In geoprocessing-environment, set the M-value and Z-value parameters to disabled. (You can also set it in the ArcGIS tool, which only works with the current tool)

You can then regenerate one with the copy features tool.
