That's certainly a hidden (line) view. :-)

Seriously, Wmfout.
If that's nearly good enough, get Betterwmf from www.furix.com

Hi all
Use the commands solview and then soldraw (in paperspace)

[someone]

I tried the Better wmfout but it works better only with the "transparent"
model. It works just as bad as the normal wmfout when I tried to export
the model after a hide command. I'm not sure. It just didn't work on my
computer.

BTW, the dimension of the model of my building is roughly 16m X 75m. And
steps of the stairs weren't parallel to each other after I used the bwmfout
command after a hide command of the whole building at an isometric angle on
screen in modelspace.
I'm using AutoCAD 2000.

Any idea, please?

do a wmf export. after hidding lines. when picking drag from left to right box
so u only select things that are displayed. and yes u will not get precise line
work things will be a little off. but u can bring the wmf back in and correct
things

That's exactly what I did but the result was so poor that it would take just
as much time to fix as to draw a new one yourself without utilising the
export command. I think the larger the drawing, or the more details you've
got, the less the accuracy it has. I can accept the rough output of the
building form but I can't accept the stairs which have step edges not
parallel to each other, with around 5 to 10 deg error. That's why I think
it's not tolerable.

Any thought?

Actually my problem is, I've developed a routine that stretches the model so
that it looks like a particular projection which the program doesn't support
itself. It is distorted so that the solview and soldraw commands don't
recognise the thing as a valid solid any more but the hide command still
does. So, basically, the solview and soldraw doesn't work for my case. I
appreciate your help, though. Thanx
