2D 3D newbie question

    Hi-

    I'm not a draftsman and I new to AutoCAD. I've learned some drawing
    skills, both 2D and 3D, but I don't know the best approaches to use when
    designing new parts. I like to create 3D models of the parts so that I
    can visualize them alone and in assemblies. I also need 2D drawings for
    the machine shop.

    Once I have a 3D model is there a quick way to get 2D drawings from it?
    (like three view orthogonals?) For example, I'd like to choose a
    plane through the model (say X-Z) and get a 2D line drawing of it.

    Thanks,

    Jeff Taylor

    Thanks, that helps. I'[m just getting used to "paper space" and "view
    ports".
