How to obtain a 2D-Drawing from Paper Space ?? 1

[John1974]

Hi,

I have draw a 3D-Model and after I have created some viewports. Then when I change to Paper Space view I obtain different points of view of the 3D-Model.

It is possible to obtain a 2D-Drawing of all lines that are showed in the Paper Space View ??

Thanks,

yes and no

the key is are you wanting it to scale or 1:1
if so then look into dxb printer which if you have autocad 2000 w the plotting update then you have it

dxb is kinda like dxf in that they are both drawing exchange formats but one is binary the other is not
so what you do is create you a layout with the views youu require then set up a dxb printer set the paper size accordingly then print to the dxb. afterwards you just goto the insert pulldown and use drawing exchange binary and this inserts whatever you printed out in 2D and the way you printed it out this is also a very good way to send people a copy of your drawing with out actually giving them your drawing also its great if you need some one with another cad product that reads dxf but you have had trouble in the past going from acad to whatever cause everything gets brocken down even text its a good way to hard code or bind your fonts if everyone helps everybody the world will be a better place

See my post with regard to SOLVIEW and SOLDRAW. I'm still working through the details of how to make it work well, but this is precisely what these commands are supposed to do.
