I have not been doing any work with DataCad in quite awhile and I have forgotten how to do something pretty basic and need help.
I have a 3d model of a fence and gate, done with DataCad and in the plan view I select Edit Clipboard Select and put a box around the area I want to see in elevation.
I then go to Elevation View and select Front. I now have the front elevation. I forget how to make a 2d copy of this that I can edit in 2d (add text, erase, dimension, etc). If I select 2d and then dimensions it all reverts back to the plan view.
I have done this 100's of times before but my memory fails me and I need some help. Thank you.

I usually do the elevation, then do an Hide on the image and save to a new layer where you can note it.

...and remember to turn F0 Clip Cube ON before picking Begin to create the HLR, otherwise the hidden line removal will be done outside of the clipcube.
