Switch from the created 3D view to the desired viewing direction (as shown in the diagram). 2. Enter the “flatshot” command in the command line, then press Space or Enter; a dialog box will appear. 3. Select the desired line style and color as indicated in the diagram. It’s advisable to distinguish colors under the “Display” option so that unnecessary lines can be removed later. Then click “Create”. The command line will prompt you to specify an insertion point; simply click in an empty area of the drawing area at this time； Then the command line will prompt “Enter the X scaling factor, specify the diagonal corner, or”. At this point, pressing Space or Enter on the keyboard will suffice. Next, the command line will ask “Enter the Y scaling factor or”, and pressing Space or Enter again will proceed with the process. Finally, the command line will ask “Specify the rotation angle”; pressing Space or Enter at this point will complete the conversion. At this point, the following graphic will appear in the drawing area. Note: If the graphic shown does not appear, the user simply needs to double-click the middle of the mouse button. 4. Next, select the graphic that has been transformed and press the shortcut key “X” to complete the decomposition process; after decomposition, deleting the green lines in the graphic completes the conversion, as shown in the figure below. If there are any issues, please feel free to point them out. Thank you! Recommended reading: A beginner’s guide to CAD drawing. Recommended reading: CAD for mold design.
