Fabrication Cadmep

thanhcong10403 — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 16:14:38 GMT

I am learning about Fabrication Cadmep software and I am starting to apply this process to my company. But because of the urgent time according to the project progress, I have not been able to train the engineers to make shopdrawing drawings in the company. Therefore, they cannot use the software. And every time I give them drawings, I need to convert 3D objects to 2D, I use the command CREAT2D to do this. But it has problems with some objects as in the image and in the .dwg file I sent (some lines of the object have been lost). I hope you can help me convert this 3D object to 2D without losing the lines.

The `CREAT2D` command in Fabrication CADmep can lose lines with complex 3D objects. For more reliable 2D conversion, use the `SOLVIEW` and `SOLDRAW` commands. Prioritize training your engineers on using content libraries and generating standard views. For immediate needs, try `SOLVIEW`/`SOLDRAW` and consider simplifying 3D objects. Manual tracing is a last resort.

@tracey258rivera Are you needing to edit / create drawings, or simply print drawing containing MEP Fabrication parts?

Unfortunately SOLDRAW Filters out '.ITM's, rendering this solution unviable.

You're 100% correct about prioritizing training tho. 😜
