Change 3d to 2d


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a 3d image of a connector and I just want to use it as part of a 2d spec sheet I am making of a cable assembly. How do I "flatten" it? Right now it looks like a wire frame in a 2d viewer but has the properties of a solid object when I am viewing in 3d in AC2009.

Look at the SOLVIEW, SOLDRAW commands.

Not getting it...

 

Exported to illustrator and was able to save as dwg and bring it back into AC. Thanks for the help none the less

AutoCAD 2009? You could try the SOLPROF command.

 

Another, and perhaps better option, would be the FLATSHOT command.

AutoCAD Mechanical 2009 should have some fancy schmancy tools for generating 2D representations of 3D components I would assume. SECTION command at the very least, unless it wasn't available in 2009.
