FLATSHOT not hiding obscured lines in swept solid

[KCorby]

I have a swept solid that FLATSHOT will not hide the obscured lines for. In the FLATSHOT dialogue box, I have tried all options, with different results. Does anyone know a setting that I can change or alternate method that I can use to get 2D geometry from this solid that I can use in my 2D drawing?

 

Thanks!

You can try using solview followed by soldraw and it will project lines on the outside of the 'box' in model space

Options for extracting 2D views of 3D solid models include:

 

Flatshot

SectionPlane

SolProf

SolView/SolDraw

ViewBase

 

I suggest you try each one out and make note of the pros and cons then decide which one works best for your given situation.

2011 does not have ViewBase.

Well that still leaves the OP with four different choices.

I only use flatshot for quick ISO' drawings, solprof is my best choice.

AutoCAD 2012. Have you given ViewBase a try?

Yea, I just didn't want the OP searching for ViewBase.

ViewBase or BaseView. Wish AutoDesk was consistent.
