Rubicon Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Does anybody know how I can convert a 3D ACAD line drawing model into a 2D line drawing. I have to share a drawing with somebody and I want them to see a projection of my 3D model onto a 2D drawing so that I do not divulge the IP developed with the drawing. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skipsophrenic Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 PS = Paper Space (Also known as Layouts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 When you are in paper space it will be necessary to set up some viewports. I suggest that you select the option Four: Equal. This will give you the four "standard views" most people use to depict an object. That would be a top, front, side and isometric. I also suggest you set the visual style to 3D Hidden. Finally, once the views are established you should decide on a scale and make sure each viewport is scaled the same (unless you want to intentionally scale the viewports differently). Your output should look something like this: Without any dimensions and no scale bar to be seen it becomes just a pretty picture to share. Layouts are printed at a scale of 1:1.
