me again with a newby question. i kinda have all my parts finished and i now would like to get the laser cut. The place that will do this for me (local university has a fablab) needs the drwaing in 2D .pdf file. which is do able. Just make a wire frame, view it in orthographic view and voila a 2D Drawing. But now comes the hardest part. i need all those parts neatly arranged on a area of 600 x 300 size.
so i though to make such a plate and constrain them to it instead of each other and afterwards make the plane invisible or just delete it.
that should work but i just feel like that there should be an easier way to fix that.
any idea's
edit: well not so easy, unlike i expected. when i pick a part after i constraint it with it's surface to the 'plate' i can still move it in ALL dimensions.
so i can still pick it up. which is not how i intended it. oke. lock it to a certain view angle and you constrain all the motions to the plane does solve that issue. but now i also nee to rotate it around it's central axis. (is that Y?) so i can start puzzling it all in.
so indeed hoping for idea's here.
kind greats

ps: i just ordered a 3D printer for myself
