I've found that dbtranslate, in Tripos' suite of Unity products, can perform the
3D -> 2D coordinate translation by translating the 3D structure into SMILES or
SLN (which contain only connectivity info, thus stripping the coordinate info)
and then translating that file into a sybmol, sybmol2 or maccs file.

The double translation can be performed with a single Unix command and is very
fast.
