Layout for printing

[Anonymous]

• Hi, I'm new to autocad and I've made this solid. I would like to visualize the exact frontal layout of every single face, because I have to print each face and cut it out to recreate the solid with the paper. How can I do it?
• Sorry for the silly question 
• thanks a lot

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

 You might consider using the Viewbase command to do this. Otherwise, you can create a variety of viewports  that each have their own view orientation.  If you need some assistance with this and can share a file I am happy to help.

I need a layout with actual proportions and dimensions of every face of this solid. I want something Kinda like a uv map, with the right area of the face that I'm going to print to create an actual paper model. I tried the viewbase command but it doesn't shows the object in the right orientation.

Thank you so much

Hi @Anonymous,

Since you ave the curves and such in your model you will likely need an "un-folding" type of utility.  You might check out the possibilities in the Autodesk App Store.
