Need Help - Export to AutoCAD


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am trying to export a curve drawn in the Right viewport to AutoCAD - where I need it in plan (Top) view. When I select the curves in Rhino and do File>Export, the curve ends up facing the wrong direction in AutoCAD (i.e. with the Top view selected on the View Cube in AutoCAD, all I see is a single line - not the outline of the part I'm working on).

 

What's the trick here? How do I take a profile drawn in 3D in Rhino and flatten & export it to 2D for further work in AutoCAD?

Why don't you just change the orientation of your UCS and rotate the line(s)?

 

Post a copy of the DWG file here. Someone will take a look at it.

Ask, and ye shall receive. This should be a roughly V-shaped figure, with the point of the V pointing down and the arms pointing up.

Only in your imagination. I used 3Dorbit to take a look at it and could not see the "V" you speak of.

 

When I run the Erase command AutoCAD finds six objects which are identified as splines.

Figured it out. Select curves, select front view, make2d, export.
