Generate flat drawings from any drawing objects. Project all on XY

General Usage Instructions

Before calling the command, you need to rotate the object so that it is projected along the Z axis. You can reverse the coordinate system (UCS) for proper projection or select a new coordinate system. You can use the current view coordinate system (_UCS_V) or the face of the solid (_UCS _F).

Then, select the objects and call FLT. If nothing else is selected, the program will prompt you to select the objects.

In the request, there are options for setting:

MaxMesh - when working with meshes, AutoCAD can hang if the mesh is too complex. The MaxMesh parameter specifies the maximum number of triangles in the mesh with which the program will work. More complex meshes will be skipped. Default is 10000. Enter 0, in order not to limit the size of meshes and check AutoCAD for durability.

LayerManagement - enable or disable layer management. When the option is enabled, all new objects are redistributed to MD_Visible and MD_Hidden layers. If there are no such layers, the program will try to load them from the template or create new ones. With the option disabled, the lines remain in the layer of the original object, and the invisible ones are repainted in green.

You can interrupt the delayed work by pressing ESC.

For some meshes it is impossible to take into account the visibility of faces and edges and the program simply projects all the edges of the mesh as visible.

Layer management and a layer template can be specified if you have the plugin CNC Prepare or A>V>C> Kit. See the AutoCAD Options on the A>V>C> tab in the Common Options section.
