Getting top view of angled part.
![brennan_natoli](https://cad.onshape.com/images/placeholder-user.png)
Im trying to laser cut a drawing part and need a true TOP view of the part. This part is drawn at an angle so when I create a drawing it is not flat. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/065b5810f2b243896a334e50/w/905f9df581ff2480225ac61a/e/d5cea1ebf81b1b7ad4543fb0?renderMode=0&uiState=621d9548492e11014c206a01
Is there of way of creating a top view without an angle?

Dirk's method is great if all you need is the DXF, however, if you also need to create a drawing for your part use a named view. I usually create one named view and from that create projected views and am able to get everything I need.1
