Hi. Welcome to AUGI.
First, read acad Help on SOLVIEW, SOLDRAW and SOLPREP. This shows the "proper" way to produce 2d. There are other ways - "workarounds" mainly.
Then ask again.

Have fun!

I can add some ways about 3D->2D for ex:Solprof,flatten,and saving as dxb file.

As someone mentioned in small type; try SOLPROF. It's the way to go, in my book, but I do simple mechanical parts design; there may be some reason to go through the "SOLVIEW", then "SOLDRAW" sequence for an architect. I think it makes changes easier, but I'm not sure; I found it awkward to use for my needs.
