Convert 3D model to 2D drawing

[Rubicon]

Does anybody know how I can convert a 3D ACAD line drawing model into a 2D line drawing.

I have to share a drawing with somebody and I want them to see a projection of my 3D model onto a 2D drawing so that I do not divulge the IP developed with the drawing.

Thanks

Why not set up orthographic views in PS and plot to PDF or DWF?

PS = Paper Space (Also known as Layouts)

[ReMark]

When you are in paper space it will be necessary to set up some viewports. I suggest that you select the option Four: Equal. This will give you the four "standard views" most people use to depict an object. That would be a top, front, side and isometric. I also suggest you set the visual style to 3D Hidden. Finally, once the views are established you should decide on a scale and make sure each viewport is scaled the same (unless you want to intentionally scale the viewports differently). Your output should look something like this:

 

 

Without any dimensions and no scale bar to be seen it becomes just a pretty picture to share.

 

Layouts are printed at a scale of 1:1.
