Is this AutoCAD?
| | |
Hi guys,
further to me recent post(s) I would like to know about linetypes when modelling. I have done very little modelling and understand that a 2D drawing can be created from the 3D model. I just wondered what needs to be done to show different linetypes in the 2D drawing such as a hidden profile when taken from the 3D model.
I have only ever done a 2D drawing or a separate 3D model and not one from the other.
Thanks!

Sorry, yes it is Acad 2008!
I have done some further research using some old R14 books I have and they mention using PROFILE command. Is this still the case? If so I'll give it a go soon.
Look in the help file for SOLVIEW and SOLDRAW commands. I believe that they will automatically do the hidden lines. I've only played around with these once or twice, though, as I prefer to draw the 2D myself.

Thanks Gerry,
I believe those are the commands that I read about.
One other thing, can you advise the best way to draw a threaded hole on a 3D model so the 2D drawing shows the core diameter as well as the thread diameter?
I'd just add it to the 2D drawing.

Exactly what I was thinking!
been a while since i've done this, but i think SOLPROF and FLATSHOT will help, don't forget SECTION also
FLATSHOT creates a flattened view of all the 3D solids and regions in the current view. The resulting view is a block that is a flattened representation of the 3D model
I'd never heard of Flatshot, but it's pretty sweet.

Ok guys I'll give that a go when I get a chance.
What is the correct 3D convention when modeling internal or external threads in AutoCAD?
For an internal I would guess the core diameter. For external obviously the OD but how would the core or thread length be represented on the model?
Typically the hole is modeled at the ID for parametric modelers that have a hole tool. See attached video for how this is done in Inventor.
Also, note that AutoCAD Mechanical has a hole tool as well, Here's a quick video showing it also.
Hope this helps.
if you can email me an iges or parasolid of your drawing I can send you back a 3 view ortho you can work with for your toolpaths..
