Hi,
I have a very simple 3D model which I would like to produce some manufacturing drawings for. Not being that great at this I wanted to use FLATSHOT, insert the blocks and then cut and paste them into paperspace. All sounds pretty simple. Thing is I have inserted the ISO view shot fine but when I come to do top and front I still get the isometric. I have made the differing viewports curret for each time I use the command but is doesn't seem to be working. Anyone care to take a look and point out what I have missed?
Thanks
Iain
Great, I can't drag and drop the file in the file upload manager!!!

Flatshot creates a projection of the current view, so always return to "top view" to place the block.

Nestly, thanks for the demo. I am using 07 so don't have the viewcube. I have done it the old fashioned way, or at least tried to........
First flatshot of top view fine


oops, hit enter....
anyways, second flatshot of front view gave me an isometric 2D drawing. Utterly confused! I get the command, it's simple, just not getting why this is happening
EDIT:- Mark, I can add the files into the manager but it will not allow me to drag and drop

This is what I have to use.

Cheers. Please take a look if you can

It looks like you have created a couple of flatshot blocks, brought them into paper space and exploded them. Why?

A quick four panel layout with my four views. Scale: 1:4.
I would strongly recommend that you create a separate layer for any viewports (set to "no print") as well as for any 2D objects (such as blocks) created with Flatshot.

Mark, will do and thanks for looking. Just to clarify, I put them onto paperspace as I want the 2D shop drawings serarate from the model. When I cut and paste it explodes automaticaaly. Can I ask how you produced yours?
I have tried Flatshot with another model and the same thing is happening in that I get the wrong output. This is getting me rather peeved
