converting 3-D desktop into a 2-D Cad file
converting 3-D desktop into a 2-D Cad file
(OP)
Is it possible to convert a 3-D Desktop image into a 2-D AutoCad file? I never work in 2-D and have completed a 3-D design. Problem is, I need the face of the design in 2-D. It has a complexe face which I simply extruded through a thickness. I just want the face in a 2-D file so I can then import it into CimCAD for a G-code conversion. Anyone know how I can do this? If so, please email the steps. I'm very grateful.





RE: converting 3-D desktop into a 2-D Cad file
First you must make a 2D view.
-Drawinng (menu)
- New view ( select view type : base ),answer the questions.
you can select " multiple " in this dialog box to have multiple views.
After you make your 2D view(s):
-type Amviewout at the command line.
Now you can save your view(s) in 2D cad file format.
If you have problem in making your view, ask me.
