MikeP Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 How can i create a 2d drawing at a certain angle (either side, top, ortho, ect) from a 3d drawing. I want to be able to generate this in model space. doin this in paper space is not what i want. Is there a lisp that could do this for me?

ReMark Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Try using the FLATTEN command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Try using the FLATTEN command. flatten command has alot of bugs in 2006, its changes the sizes of everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 You could download the trial version of 2009 and use the FLATSHOT command. Or, if you have access to 2007 or 2008, they also include the command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cad64 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Sorry dude, just trying to offer suggestions. You didn't say this was going to be an ongoing thing. Upgrade or use the FLATTEN command. Either that or switch to paper space and use the SOLVIEW and SOLDRAW commands. Those are the only options I am aware of. Maybe someone has a lisp routine, but I've never come across one. Have a good one. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 thanx, how do you use the solview im completly confused about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khama Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 thanx, how do you use the solview im completly confused about it? SOLVIEW is the long way to do it.. Try using "MVSETUP". Follow the prompts on the screen and you will instantly have third angle projection in 4 views instantly with viewports lodged in Paperspace. The trick is to navigate the first 3 prompts. The first one choose "CREATE" The second choose "CREATE" The third choose "2" (Engineering Drawing) the rest you will workout.... It's a snap.

MikeP Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 um there is no mvsetup, what do you mean? SOLVIEW is the long way to do it.. Try using "MVSETUP".

smorales02 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 MVSETUP is a command... i am not sure of anyway of doing this in modelspace, besides just switching your UCS and than copying your views... Why dont you want it in papersapce??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It already does what your above inquiry is after. SOLVIEW and SOLDRAW are more a more complicated than the FLATSHOT command. well IMO anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 It all depends on where you want to do it - in modelspace or in a layout. Different commands for different situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 -Have you tried the FLATSHOT command Mr.Cad64 suggested? Unfortunately FLATSHOT doesn't exist in 2006. He will need to upgrade, download the 2009 trial or find someone with 2007 or above in order to use that command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyJ Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I use SOLVIEW and SOLDRAW because it gives you layers for hidden lines, Dims, and Visible lines, but it can be a headache sometimes to use. Do any of these other methods give you the ability to make hidden lines and visible lines? MVSETUP is a cool command but I dont see how I can make the hidden lines dotted. If someone could tell me a way to get the same outcome as solview & soldraw with an easier command that uses less steps that could save me a ton of time at work!

sparklerach Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Flatshot can give you hidden lines. Just tick the 'Obscured Lines' box and select the linetype you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyJ Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hmm... It does allow me to make the linetype hidden, however it does not let me change the linetype scale so I can actually see that they are dotted lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
