Exporting 2D views of 3D objects for Machining


Recommended Posts

I'm not a new Vworks user (been using Architect for sometime), but I'm doing something that I've never tried to do before and can't seem to find what I need in documentation. I'm sure it's simple -- just can't get started.

I have several 3D objects that I need to have machined and I'm having a compatibility issue with the machine shop.

They are asking me for 2D .dxf files of each face. I can create a dimensioned "2D" view, but it's still just a 2D view of a 3D object.

After dimensioning say a side view of the object, how can I export that view as a true 2D .dxf file?

I feel stupid -- hopefully not contagious.

Thanks

JB
