AutoCAD Wireframe

This is an inquiry in CADtutor forum: Can I render wireframe image from AutoCAD? I’m not sure why we ever need wireframe image. But the answer is no.

However, we can get the required image by using plot command. In the shade plot option, we can set the shade mode to wireframe.

AutoCAD_shade_plot_dropdown

This allows us to plot to any type of visualization, including rendering images and visualization styles.

Anything you can set in visual styles, you can have it. Including sketches look like.

For wireframe, I would recommend you to export it .png. Works better for vector images. JPEG and BMP quite good for renderings. And if that’s not enough, you can also get other type of raster image by adding more plotters.
