TS responded. Resolution is less than desirable but it works. Take all your 3D solids and convert them back to polylines then you can convert them via the CAD Detail From View tool. If you want to maintain the original 3D solids you created, that means having to either create a copy of the file for that purpose or copying all 3D solids needed and then converted them back to polylines within the original file. Tech guy is going to submit as a "feature request" and see what comes of it. Thanks for all the responses folks.

No sir. It still converts to a series of vertices. Thanks though

I appreciate you responding. I have created 3D solids from the cross section/elevation views as part of my drawings. This particular drawing has a lot of arcs. My efforts( at a later date) to turn the 3D solids back to line drawings( closed polylines) via the Cad Detail From View Tool is where I encountered the problems with my arcs. I am not attempting to send these drawings to layout for what I am doing. I am trying to create closed polylines with arcs, not a series of vertices, that I can convert to DXF for use in other software we use to set toolpaths for our CNC equipment. I have not used perspective camera views in my attempts to recreate the original closed polylines. Thanks again for the response. Luedeker - Seff Casa Grande.plan

Forgive me if some of my terminology is lacking. I create a lot of 3D drawings for use in submittals for clients. After approval I will take the 3D elevations and sections and convert them back to line drawings via the Cad Detail From View tool. I can not take an elevation from 3D and convert it back to line drawings via the Cad Detail From View tool without loosing all the arcs used in the initial drawing. Arcs show up as a series of small lines( vertices?). This forces me to redraw all the arcs. I can not send this file to DXF or DWG for use with our CNC equipment unless I redraw all these arcs. I have not historically had this problem from plan view. Any help is appreciated. FYI Chief TS has been sent a copy of the file with a report from me. Hopefully time will be on my side.
