anybody know what's the Autocad command Solprof equivalent to Microstation ? i'm using it in autocad to generate/produce 2D drawings from 3D drawings.

Not sure if this will answer your question, but if you're in a 3D Microstation file, you can create a 2D file by exporting it. Go up to File -> Export -> 2D and you can create a turn your 3D file into a 2D one.

breaks,
ok i got it, but why it shows all the hidden lines in one kind of linetype ? in autocad solprof, the hidden lines will be shown in different linetype.

tootsrey,

I'm not familiar with solprof, so I don't understand your question. When I change files from 3D to 2D, the line styles stay the same through the conversion: if a line is style 2, it stays style 2. Try setting the view on the 3D file as you want it shown in the 2D file (I think that maybe the active view is used to determine which plane is exported to 2D) and then exporting it to 2D.

Sorry I can't help more!

Dude,
The equivalent in MicroStation is as follows.
Your 3D MicroStation file should be in some form of ISO view. Then go to "FILE>EXPORT>VISIBLE EDGES"
Under the "General" tab ... just click "process txt & dims"
Under the "Output" tab ... just click "Auto open output file"
and finally click export!

This should produce the same results as "solprof" from AutoCAD in paper space. (See ... I know what you mean)
