2D DUMD DRAWING
2D DUMD DRAWING
(OP)
How do I create a drawing which is just a 2d drawing, i.e. like in mdt when you could save as 2d.
so i can send copy print etc without the delay of model construction.

Not making 3D models in SolidWorks, and only using the 2D functionality is like buying an nice rifle for hunting, only to use it as a club.
If you have SW05, you could use the DWGeditor, it is an AutoCAD clone (old IntelliCAD), and could work in a pinch.

You could also do a Save as to DWG, or DXF, but you will of course lose the associativity.
