Flattens assemblies, blocks, and assembly blocks. The command performs the function of "deleting" an assembly or blocks without deleting its contents. The node of the selected assembly or block is removed from the assembly hierarchy in the Workspace Explorer. All immediate children of the selected block or assembly take the place of the "deleted" assembly or block with the parent. As a result, unwanted intermediate levels of the assembly hierarchy are removed. All the children of the "flattened" assembly or block become children of its parent. For blocks, their children are in effect nested into the volume of the parent block because they occupy part of the volume of the flattened block itself.
