I have a question even though I do not know if AutoCAD has a way to do this. Please check the attached screenshot. Imagine that it is a 2D assembly, and I am overlapping part 1 and part 2. I would like to achieve my "GOAL" on the paper. Is there a way to make each part solid? In that way, I do not need to trim or use wipeout feature? Basically, I just want to model them one by one in 2D version. Thank you.</P> Fri, 05 Apr 2024 16:47:42 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/assembly-and-print-out-help/m-p/12689850#M18278 Phone_MyintP9P9D 2024-04-05T16:47:42Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/assembly-and-print-out-help/m-p/12689865#M18279 <P>How about REGION command on both objects and then UNION</P> Fri, 05 Apr 2024 16:58:56 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/assembly-and-print-out-help/m-p/12689865#M18279 paullimapa 2024-04-05T16:58:56Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/assembly-and-print-out-help/m-p/12689975#M18280 Thank you for your suggestion. For this case, of course, UNION will work; however, if I have multiple parts to be assemble as one then, it won't be efficient anymore. Also, most assembles have complex geometries.

I think draftsight [by Solidworks] has a feature like this. I have seen my colleagues used that feature on his drawing.
