Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing great. 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.

How about REGION command on both objects and then UNION

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.

The it sounds like the only option is that each assembly cannot just be a 2d object but must have 3d properties so objects can be hidden to perhaps come close to your goal

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