Hi, you will be able to export the perspective view in just a few days as dxf/dwg format with our drawings feature 😉 Until that time please export your design as an image and trace it in Illustrator

Honestly, I need this feature too.  
So I don’t have to go to skp in order to get “vector line art”.

Is there a feature coming that allows us to export any custom perspective view as vector? Not just the standard ortho views and one set iso.

You can do that already without any specific export tool 🙂 Just rotate the model and project it to any plane. The result will be a group of curves that can be exported as DXF, DWG, or SVG with the Sketch Export tool:

Is there a way to get it to only project the non hidden lines?

It is not possible to filter them out, the only solution is to remove the invisible ones from the projected sketch.
