Hi there,
I was wondering if there was an AutoCAD 2014 for Mac equivalent to putting 3D drawings into layout view. In regular AutoCAD 2014 for PC under the "Layout" tab at the top there is a "Create View" section and from there if you select "Base" then create a front view, top view, and side view from and the lines will correspond to whether or not they should be solid or dashed. Is there the same option somewhere else in AutoCAD for Mac, or an option with a different name that does the same thing?
Thank you

There is no such feature in AC for Mac (VIEWBASE command and etc.)
You can try to use SOLVIEW - SOLDRAW command combination:

or

Alternatively you can try FLATSHOT command.

I think the problem I'm having when I use solview and soldraw is that it is getting rid of the 3D object in my model space, not just converting the objects in my viewport. Is that just me doing something in the wrong order?
- Thanks
I attached the drawing right before using the SOLDRAW command on the viewport. When doing the command it converts not only the view port to lines, but when I go back to model space the 3D object is gone.
Also, in AutoCAD for Windows when using Base View it will use dashed lines for objects that fall behind automatically and I can't get that to happen either.
Thank you
Hi,
I can not reproduce your issue.
In attached file you can see the results I got.
Here are screenshots about frozen and thawed layers in viewports (you can right-click on it and select "Open image" to see more details):
3D solids in model space are intact after solview - soldraw operation

Is the SOLDRAW process more than:
- Creating the Viewport with the 3D object in it.
- Entering the SOLDRAW command in the command line
- Selecting the viewport you are working with as the object
Because maybe I'm just doing it wrong. I attached a screen shot of my layers after using SOLDRAW on the Viewport.
Thanks so much!
I am a newly qualified Interior Designer and have been thinking of moving over from PC to Mac - any advice as to which is the best platform to run AutoCAD for Interior Design off?
