SOLPROF: Keeping projected profiles manageable in complex assemblies
indiancad posted a topic in AutoCAD 3D Modelling & Rendering
When generating 2D profiles from a 3D assembly using SOLPROF, the resulting geometry can become difficult to manage when several components overlap in the viewing direction. Separating visible and hidden profiles is useful, but the number of generated entities can make subsequent editing and drawing cleanup cumbersome. For assemblies that undergo frequent design revisions, this raises a practical question about how to keep the projected drawing maintainable. How do you organize and update SOLPROF-generated geometry when the underlying 3D assembly changes? Do you regenerate the profiles after every revision, or use a workflow that minimizes manual cleanup? -
Keeping original layers when converting a 3D to 2D
ADSK2007 posted a topic in AutoCAD 3D Modelling & Rendering
Hello Lispers I do a lot of 3D modeling with AutoCAD and so far I been using solprof to convert my models from 3D to 2D drawings creating plans & elevations What solprof does is creating 2 separate layers and separates solid lines from the hidden lines (which is great) however, it loses the original layers that was used for each solid. My question; Is it possible to keep the original layers after a 3D is converted to a 2D drawin? We spend a lot of time assigning back the layers to the 2D shapes again. btw, we are using AutoCAD 2010 Any help is much appreciated
