Converting 3D drawing to 2D

Hello,

 

I work with ACA 3D, at the end of each project, I must send the drawing files to others (e.g. engineers, etc.), many of them, use only 2D.

 

When I use "Export Layout to Model" The generated drawing file contains wrong scale and I must enlarge 1:10, the entire drawing, and some more (for example wipeouts and excel files are not copied) also need to take some adjustments for hidden lines, etc.

 

What is the most proper and clean way to transfer a 3D file to 2D.

I have a long DWG layout with several 3D viewports and I want to convert to a 2D DWG.

Have you tried "exporttoautocad"?  If you still see 3d objects in the resulting drawing, use flatten followed by overkill.
