Make 2D command makes only 2D from layouts and as top view

Hi, I try to make 2D from my model, but nothing happens when I choose some of my model views. When I choose layout views, it makes the 2D drawing but only from a top view and not from the view I have chosen for the layout.

Hi @Alli_Hurmola
could you provide a screencaps, or a little bit more detailed info on what you’re trying to do, and what you end up with? Impossible to help with this amount of info. Kiitos.

Hi,

Sorry, I forgot to post sceencaps which I took. I hope you can see these.





@Alli_Hurmola
What I can see from the pics, is that you have the Top view active, and _Make2d gives you the Top view’s curves. So, it seems to work as expected.

The “View” option in _Make2d does not refer to Layout 's “view”, if that’s what you are expecting. It refers to the currently active viewport.

If you want the view that is defined in a Layout’s Detail view, first activate the detail by double clicking it, select objects and then _Make2d.

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, it still doesn’t work for me even though I have the details open and active and would select details there. Also, it doesn’t work even though I would have the top view active and open and I would try to do 2D from the top view.

Hi Alli - Make2D delivers the drawing to the World XY plane unless you choose the CPlane option.

@Alli_Hurmola
When you say “doesn’t work”, what does that mean?
Gives an error? Does nothing?
Can you record a video of the process?

I’m sure it’s just a small thing that you might be omitting or not noticing…
