I believe you answered his question better. :-)
I would like to add that you could take the rendering and then use it as a
base for the vector format. However, this is more work than just drawing it
in 2D. I would also think it would be possible to render to a 2D vector
format. It would take quite a bit of programming to do though (i.e. remove
hidden lines, redefine vectors). As you point out though (and I stated
previously), some of the additional details are much easier done in a 2D
drawing program. So the investment in doing the 3D to 2D conversion
probably isn't worth it. I certainly wouldn't do the conversion with in the
OS itself, which I didn't feel he was necessarily suggesting.
