You can represent these in your layouts and use them to send instructions to your cnc. You can also determine cut angles and profiles from your sections.<BR /><BR /></P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="MichielValcke_0-1640519934507.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1004944iB31B5531CFAEAFFC/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="MichielValcke_0-1640519934507.png" alt="MichielValcke_0-1640519934507.png" /></span><BR />If you want to have a 2D view based on a 3D view of your object you can use the command FLATSHOT which will create a 2D view of your object as a block in your model space or you can use the command SECTIONPLANETOBLOCK to turn your sections into 2D blocks.</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="MichielValcke_1-1640520191923.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1004945iAC1C8C829A9F7448/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="MichielValcke_1-1640520191923.png" alt="MichielValcke_1-1640520191923.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>If you want mass / volume / moments of inertia etc... You can use the command MASSPROP. Be wary though this information is still limited, a CAD program like Inventor of Fusion360 will give you a lot more information (and tools for analysis) of 3D models especially in a CAD/CAM setup.<BR /><BR /></P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="MichielValcke_2-1640520451561.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1004946iAA68B03B2B4EA390/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="MichielValcke_2-1640520451561.png" alt="MichielValcke_2-1640520451561.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><BR /><BR /><BR /></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Sun, 26 Dec 2021 12:07:39 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/data-extraction/m-p/10843292#M65264 Michiel.Valcke 2021-12-26T12:07:39Z
