Creating technical drawings

[phudge]

Hi, can any body point me in the direction of a tutorial that shows me how to do this:

basically i have a 3d model in auto cad, i want to take this model and create 10 or 20 2d view of diffrent elements of it (top, bottom, front, back, iso sections ect) with all the drawings alligned correctly (top view sits above front view, right views sits to the right of the front view ect) i would then like to dimension individual elements of the model and have a little marker display the radius.

i am new with autocad but i have experience with solidworks and its as simple as pressing a few buttons, is there somthing similar in autocad?

Thanks alot!

Hi phudge,

Give this site a try, look under the 3D stuff, you may find what your after:

Layout views were designed for allowing different views (each layout can be turned and zoomed indepenent of the model or the other layour windows). So if you are looking for top/bottom/left/right, isometric, then it is pretty trivial.

If you are looking for sections then it should be easy, but I haven't discovered that feature yet.

Hi Phudge, you posted a similar question in the recent past. Did you understand my reply about viewports in model space and their different function from the viewports in layouts or paper space?

If your objects in 3d are solids, not wireframes, look into the "solview" and "soldraw" commands.

In the newer versions of autocad (full release, not LT) it will do a lot of the work for you on sections too....
