How to make a 2D document from 3D
I'm wondering how to make a 2D drawing document from 3D, there is some documentation how to export views and sections from 3D to 2D but not more. Video example would help best, it should include document labels, logo, version management and all document related thinks.

Important:
check the "add this view export to list" if You would like to establish associativity between the drawing views and the 3D modells. (this will not automatic associativity, You allways have to refresh manually the drawing views)

Another Make2D issue. It's all there somewhere. In Illustrator, the Rhino file is off the extents usually. Rhino only exports to version 8 and they are on version 16, I think.
In Illustrator, immediately after opening the rhino exported AI file, do a select all, ctrl-A, cut, ctrl-x then paste ctrl-v -- the drawing lines (and there are many of them-- disconnected) will get pasted onto the illustrator page at the very center. If it's still too large, and AI complains, select a smaller output ratio in Rhino. Meters to mm or inches to mm, or 1 inch to .25 inch, for example
