Flatten should be it.

VIEW SAVE
MVIEW
VIEW RESTORE.

thanx

 

Try using "solprof". this should help

 

solprof will convert a 3d drawing to a 2d view.

 

SOLPROF will convert 3D SOLIDS ONLY, nothing else.

 

SOLPROF will convert 3D SOLIDS ONLY, nothing else.<<

And 2D will still be 2D...So now, it's all 2D, right? Solprof will not touch blocks, so if they are 3D, they have to be exploded 1st. If they're already 2D, you're done. And you may want to move it all to 'Z' 0, if it's not already.

SOLPROF will convert 3D SOLIDS ONLY, nothing else, meaning it will not work on lines, arcs, surfaces, regions, hatching, etc. It will ONLY work on 3DSOLIDs

 

Set up a viewport in paperspace, get the 3D object in view in the viewport, rotate the image until it the view you want, scale it, save and plot.

 

SOLPROF doesn't work with mdt4 objects. Is there another command that will work? I need to get a .WMF iso view as an end result so perhaps somthing else may work

 

WMFOUT?

Does it have to be a wmf file? can it be a jpg file instead. If it can us
the "publish to web Jpeg" plotter device. works pretty slick...

Preferably it would be a wmf since they are vector based. But I was able to get what I needed by using a DXB printer and then the DXBIN command.
