Hello, I have a 3D model I would like to pull views from in AutoCAD 2009. Is there a way to pull 2D lines for views such as front view, side view, top view and isometric views from the 3D Model? Solidworks has this feature and I am wondering if I can do this in AutoCAD. I already know how to use the "section" command but this process is very labor intensive to achieve what I would like to do and I cannot create a 2D isometric view with this command. Essentially I would like to create layout views with dimensions for shop drawings. If anyone knows how to do this please let me know. Thank you |

You can use the SOLPROF command. create a seperate layer for the 3d model yo have created. You must be in a Layout to use SOLPROF. Then modelspace viewport must be active to use SOLPROF. (Use MVIEW and MSPACE commands to go to modelspace viewport ) Select the view you want from the 'VIEW>3DVIEW' zoom out/in as required. Now use SOLPROF command select the object and press enter accept the defaults. switch over to model tab switch off the layer which has the 3Dmodel. Now you can see the profile of the model in 2D By default all visible edges are placed in separate layer normally named as "PV-???" and all hidden edges are placed in separate layer normally named as "PH-???" The profiles will be placed along the appropriate planes (x-y for top, y-z for right, x-z for front) You can use 3DROTATE command to orient the views appropriately and position them to get true 2D drawings. Of course, this is bit tedious when compared with solidworks.  |

| The SOLPROF command is what I have used, and it works very well. |
