Hello, I'm facing a project with lots of AutoCAD 2005 drawings in 3-d. I
don't know much about the details. They want to derive 2-d drawings from
those (and I assume, nice looking plan views not just slices as-is off
the solids.) Could anyone tell me how to best approach this project? I
assume quite a bit of work to polish up but wondering about ways to
derive slices out of the 3-d configs better than listing out data,
draw new with x,y filters etc. Thanks.



You basically use the solview command in layout tab to pull your views
from the 3d solid and then convert them to 2d with the soldraw command.
You can also slice up 3d solids in model space to make views, that you can
use in layout tab to set up your plot.

Yes, mechanical (general sense, not as metaphor for HVAC.) Thanks.
