Orthographic Views in AutoCAD Plant 3D

📐 Generating Orthographic Views in AutoCAD Plant 3D

From 3D Model to Detailed Orthographic Drawings

🟢 Once you built a 3D Model, you can generate the Orthographic views which can be automatically created from the model itself.

📘 What are Orthographic Drawings?

🟢 Orthographic drawings are DWG files, and each one can contain multiple orthographic views with data extracted from Plant 3D models.

🟢 Orthographic drawings display views of piping, valves, equipment, and structural steel in Plant 3D models. The drawings can have annotations, dimensions, matchlines, pipe gaps, and can show or hide lines and objects.

⚙️ Configure Ortho Template

🟢 Before generating the Orthographic views, you may want to configure the default settings for the Ortho Template.
