Details on 2D Image Creation
Information on the 2D Image creation command.
This command creates 2D-images from individual or all viewports of a 2D-layout, consisting only of simple lines. You can use them for passing on revised drawings or plotting in 2D style (with hidden edges).

The image creation in large drawings including many objects might take a lot of time. Then it is recommended to restrict the 2D-image creation to a cut out of the drawing. Canceling the image creation is possible at any time using ESC. The settings of the viewports, such as layers and sectional planes are respected. The color and the line type of the hidden lines can be configured.
