Working with 2D Hide
and 2D Steel Shapes
In this tutorial, you learn how to work with 2D steel shapes. The features in AutoCAD
®
Mechanical for defining 2D hide situations have already been covered in
Basics of AMSHIDE
on page 93. However, the tutorial is intended for new users who may have to work with
AM2DHIDE supported legacy drawings.
Key Terms
DefinitionTerm
A contour that is covered by another contour or by objects that are
lying behind another contour, in the 3D sense. A background may be
a foreground for an additional contour.
background
Objects which are lying in front of another contour, in the 3D sense.
A foreground may also be a background for an additional contour.
foreground
Line that is not visible in a specified view. For example, in a front view,
lines behind the front plane are not visible.
hidden line
Steel shapes are standardized steel geometries and profiles that are
used for steel and plant construction.
