how to convert 3d model into 2d drafting.

[prasanth14026]

Dear all,
I have some of 3d model, which was created in autocad. From this model i want to create orthographic views, as top view ,front view, side view. But, not in the layout.

normally i doing, i'll change model into wire frame mode in top view, then i'll copy and pate into other page. the same i'll do for all views. unfortunately this is not 2d drawing.

Why not in layout - that is the usual way to show drawing views.
Solview and soldraw
or
flatshot

I would agree with JDM that using a layout is really the way to go. To add another option to the ones he mentioned I would suggest Solprof (creates a 2D block of a 3D object as seen through the viewport).

the problem in the layout, it's comes in boxes. when i print also it'll look as in boxes.

If you mean that you see the lines that make up the Viewport - you can put the Viewports on its own Layer and turn that layer off.

would you suggets using one of these options (Solview, soldraw, Solprof ) also for Architectural drawings?

Can you please also explain step by step how these commands should be used? and what is the differnce compare to just displaying in a Viewport a 2D-wire-frame (i.e. the top or the left side view).
