I&nbsp;executed both commands (flatten with remove hidden lines = no) and overkill. I have attached the CAD file for what resulted. I still have all the polyline mesh. What I really want is to remove all the interior mesh lines to create a simple file with just the outlines.&nbsp;What is the best way to do that?</P> Wed, 26 Sep 2018 01:38:21 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/convert-3d-drawing-to-simple-2d-drawing/m-p/8292597#M165011 Anonymous 2018-09-26T01:38:21Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/convert-3d-drawing-to-simple-2d-drawing/m-p/8292682#M165012 <P>hello, how about this? try edit blocks and explode to removed extra lines. thanks</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 26 Sep 2018 03:03:12 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/convert-3d-drawing-to-simple-2d-drawing/m-p/8292682#M165012 ennujozlagam 2018-09-26T03:03:12Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/convert-3d-drawing-to-simple-2d-drawing/m-p/9473469#M165013 <P>You can use the Flatshot command and make it sure that you will obscured lines to hide the unnecessary lines behind the object.</P> Mon, 27 Apr 2020 14:02:33 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/convert-3d-drawing-to-simple-2d-drawing/m-p/9473469#M165013 Anonymous 2020-04-27T14:02:33Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/convert-3d-drawing-to-simple-2d-drawing/m-p/9473500#M165014 <P>You can also use the solprof command but in order for you to made to command you have to move in layout&nbsp;</P> Mon, 27 Apr 2020 14:11:30 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/convert-3d-drawing-to-simple-2d-drawing/m-p/9473500#M165014 Anonymous 2020-04-27T14:11:30Z
