    Creating 2D Drawings from Solid Models<\/h1>\nAfter an object is constructed as a solid 3D model, there are AutoCAD commands and features available to create and dimension a 2D working multiview drawing.

      \n \t
    1. Creating and modifying AutoCAD layout drawings.<\/li>\n \t
    2. Working in paper space.<\/li>\n \t
    3. Creating, editing and setting the scale of viewports.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nThese three concepts are covered in the AutoCAD 2D book.\n

      \n

      AutoCAD Command: SOLDRAW<\/p>\n\n<\/header>\n

      \n\nThe SOLDRAW command is used to convert views created by the SOLVIEW command by projecting the 3D objects onto a 2D plane and changing hidden objects onto the hidden layer.\n\nShortcut: none<\/strong>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1202\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"453\"]\"\" Draw Pull-down[\/caption]\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1202\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"190\"]\"\" Home Ribbon[\/caption]\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      WORK ALONG: Creating 2D Drawings from a Solid Model<\/h1>\n

      Step 1<\/h2>\nUsing the NEW command, start a new drawing using template: 3D Layout English<\/span>.\n

      Step 2<\/h2>\nSave and name the drawing: AutoCAD 3D Workalong 30-1<\/span>.\n

      Step 3<\/h2>\nSet the current UCS as World, the current view as SE Isometric, and the current visual style to 2D Wireframe.\n

      Step 4<\/h2>\nUsing the LINETYPE command, ensure that the Hidden linetype is loaded in the current drawing.\n

      Step 5<\/h2>\nSet the Insertion Units to inches and insert the block: AutoCAD 3D Workalong 30-1<\/span> at 0,0,0.\n

      Step 6<\/h2>\nExplode the block and change the layer that the solid model is on to layer: Solid 7<\/span>. Using the Properties window, check to ensure that the object is a 3D solid. (Figure Step 6)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1222\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"328\"]\"\" Figure Step 6[\/caption]\n

      Step 7<\/h2>\nSave the drawing but do not close it.\n
      AUTHOR'S COMMENTS:<\/strong> The reason I had you save the drawing, in Step 7, is that once you start creating the layout in Steps 8 to 15 and you make an error, you will have to start the drawing over at Step 8. If you make an error, quit the drawing, without saving it, and open the drawing and start at Step 8.<\/div>\n

      Step 8<\/h2>\nEnable layout: Module Layout D<\/span>. (Figure Step 8)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1222\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"600\"]\"\" Figure Step 8[\/caption]\n\n
      MUST KNOW: <\/strong><\/strong>VERY IMPORTANT <\/strong><\/span>Before you use either the SOLVIEW and the SOLPROF commands, ensure that the current visual style is 2D Wireframe and the Hidden linetype is loaded into the current drawing.<\/div>\n

      Step 9<\/h2>\nEnter the SOLVIEW command, as shown below, to create the top view of the model. Name it: Top. (Figure Step 9)\n\nCommand: SOLVIEW<\/strong>\n\nEnter an option [Ucs\/Ortho\/Auxiliary\/Section]: U<\/strong>\n\n(Enter U to draw the view from the UCS.)<\/em><\/span>\n\nEnter an option [Named\/World\/?\/Current] <Current>:\n\n(Accept the default Current.)<\/em><\/span>\n\nEnter view scale <1.0000>:\n\n(Accept the scale of 1.)<\/em><\/span>\n\nSpecify view center: P1<\/strong>\n\n(Select a location for the centre of the view.)<\/em><\/span>\n\nSpecify view centre <specify viewport>:\n\n(Press Enter to accept the location.)<\/span> <\/em>\n\nSpecify first corner of viewport: P2<\/strong>\n\nSpecify opposite corner of viewport: P3 <\/strong>\n\nEnter view name: Top<\/strong>\n\n(The view must be named.)<\/em><\/span>\n\nCommand:\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1222\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"600\"]\"\" Figure Step 9[\/caption]\n\n
      AUTHOR'S COMMENTS:<\/strong> You can select the locations P1, P2, and P3 by eye.<\/div>\n

      Step 10<\/h2>\nEnter the SOLVIEW command again, but this time create the front view by projecting orthographically from the top view. Name it: Front<\/span>. When done that way, the two views will be aligned. (Figure Step 10A and 10B)\n\nCommand: SOLVIEW<\/strong>\n\nEnter an option [Ucs\/Ortho\/Auxiliary\/Section]: O<\/strong>\n\nSpecify side of viewport to project: (mid)<\/em><\/span>\n\nSpecify view center: P4<\/strong>\n\nSpecify view centre <specify viewport>:\n\nSpecify first corner of viewport: P5<\/strong>\n\nSpecify opposite corner of viewport: P6<\/strong>\n\nEnter view name: Front<\/strong>\n\nCommand:\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1222\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"344\"]\"\" Figure Step 10A[\/caption]\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1222\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"306\"]\"\" Figure Step 10B[\/caption]\n

      Step 11<\/h2>\nUsing what you just learned, create the right side view and name it: Right<\/span>. (Figure Step 11A and 11B)\n\nCommand: SOLVIEW<\/strong>\n\nEnter an option [Ucs\/Ortho\/Auxiliary\/Section]: O<\/strong>\n\nSpecify side of viewport to project:(mid)<\/em><\/span>\n\nSpecify view center:\n\nSpecify view centre <specify viewport>:\n\nSpecify first corner of viewport:\n\nSpecify opposite corner of viewport:\n\nEnter view name: Right<\/strong>\n\nEnter an option [Ucs\/Ortho\/Auxiliary\/Section]:\n\nCommand:\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1222\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"417\"]\"\" Figure Step 11A[\/caption]\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1222\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"600\"]\"\" Figure Step 11B[\/caption]\n

      Step 12<\/h2>\nUse the MVIEW command to create a viewport in the top right corner of the drawing. Change the scale of the viewport to 1:1 and the current view to SE Isometric. Pan the model in the viewport to centre it. (Figure Step 12)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1222\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"600\"]\"\" Figure Step 12[\/caption]\n

      Step 13<\/h2>\nUsing the UNITS command, set the length precision to 8 decimal places. Open the Properties window and select all four viewports as shown in the figure. Check to ensure that the scale of all viewports are set to 1:1. Lock their display. (Figure Step 13)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1222\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"600\"]\"\" Figure Step 13[\/caption]\n

      Step 14<\/h2>\nEnter the SOLDRAW command, as shown below, to change the multiviews viewports to 2D. (Figure Step 14A and 14B)\n\nCommand: SOLDRAW<\/strong>\n\nSelect viewports to draw.\n\nSelect objects: 1 found\n\nSelect objects: 1 found, 2 total\n\nSelect objects: 1 found, 3 total\n\n(Select the three multiview viewports.)<\/em> <\/span>\n\nSelect objects:\n\nOne solid selected.\n\nOne solid selected.\n\nOne solid selected.\n\nCommand:\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1222\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"581\"]\"\" Figure Step 14A[\/caption]\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1222\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"604\"]\"\" Figure Step 14B[\/caption]\n

      Step 15<\/h2>\nChange to current space to Model and select the isometric view as the current viewport. Enter the SOLPROF command as shown below. (Figure Step 15A and 15B)\n\nCommand: SOLPROF<\/strong>\n\nSelect objects: 1 found\n\n(Select the solid model.)<\/em><\/span>\n\nSelect objects:\n\nDisplay hidden profile lines on separate layer? [Yes\/No] <Y>:\n\n(Select the default.)<\/em><\/span>\n\nProject profile lines onto a plane? [Yes\/No] <Y>:\n\n(Select the default.)<\/em><\/span>\n\nDelete tangential edges? [Yes\/No] <Y>:\n\n(Select the default.)<\/span> <\/em>\n\nEnter an option\n\nCommand:\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1222\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"323\"]\"\" Figure Step 15A[\/caption]\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1222\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"607\"]\"\" Figure Step 15B[\/caption]\n

      Step 16<\/h2>\nChange the colors of the layers as shown in the figure. (Figure Step 16)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1222\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"229\"]\"\" Figure Step 16[\/caption]\n

      Step 17<\/h2>\nTurn Layer: VPORT<\/span> off and your completed drawing should appear similar to the figure. (Figure Step 17)\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1222\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"649\"]\"\" Figure Step 17[\/caption]\n

              Step 4<\/h2>\n

              Enable layout: Module Layout D<\/span> and using the command SOLVIEW, create the three multiviews. Set the scale of the viewports to 1.5:1 and lock their display.<\/p>\n

              Step 5<\/h2>\n

              Use the SOLDRAW command to change the views to 2D.<\/p>\n

              Step 6<\/h2>\n

              Using the MVIEW command, create two views and set their view to SE Isometric. Scale the viewports to 1:1 and lock their display. Set one of the views to display shaded.<\/p>\n

              Step 7<\/h2>\n

              Use the SOLPROF command to create the hidden lines in the isometric viewport. (Figure Step 7)<\/p>\n
