nocturne00 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Is there a way to generate a 2D drawing of from a 3D polymesh? or any mesh for that matter. Flatshot cant seem to project from a polymesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjun_samar Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 i dont know but i counter the problem your facing before. until know dont know yet how to do that. but here is the meaning of flatshot in f1 help. i guess flatshot is only for 3d solids... With the FLATSHOT command, you can create a flattened view of all the 3D solids and regions in the current view. hope someone here might help.

SEANT Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 You may have some success with either a DXB plotter setup or WMFOUT/WMFIN export/import. The attached was processed via WMF. MeshVase.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, originally I thought flatshot could also accomplish it, then i tried to use flatten but with undesirable results. now im out of options. You may have some success with either a DXB plotter setup or WMFOUT/WMFIN export/import. Thanks for that SEANT, that definitly is a neat trick. do you think there is a way to export it without its surface tabulations? im lwrapping my mind around this right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturne00 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 Can you attach the dwg here? Here's a dwg file of one of the files i hope to convert,. i used SEANT's method(w/c by the way is a cool way to generate a 2d dwg from a mesh), but i was hoping to get a sort of flat dwg output in 3d hidden mode, not showing the surface tabulations. I deleted the wheels from the dwg coz it capped the min 250kb file limit. Old Wagon.DWG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papagyi Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 If u want to use "flatshot",first you must explode "polymesh". Then use "region" to get region model.Next you can use "flatshot". Open new dwg and insert flatshot output block model.Finally you can explode and easy delete to surface tabulations for your neat model!

nocturne00 Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Thats one way to skin this cat . thanks at this point theres really no way to get around a direct way of doing it, the surface tabulations really have to be deleted manually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEANT Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 . . . .the surface tabulations really have to be deleted manually So it would seem. Another reason to use the modern (AutoCAD 2007) Loft, Sweep, etc., entities for new projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturne00 Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Yep, the import/export using 3ds didnt work either. anyways, thanks for the tips guys. real great help Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bethel Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Does the lisp project.lsp still ship with ACAD. It worked very well with meshes. -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturne00 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 I think its not included. do you have a lisp file of it? may i ask for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
