Hi,
I am not able to choose an arced cylinder as a path to extrude a box.
Attached are the entities I am working with.
I tried the joined arcs and it works great.
Thank You

Gerry,
Thank you !!!
I finally got it to work, extruding the circle along one arc path.
I guess it is not possible to extrude along two different arc paths at the same time. Thats ok it's...
Gerry,
Attached is the arc with the perpendicular circle.
I have not been able to extrude the circle along the arc path.
ger21,
How do you specify the circle to be perpendicular to the arc?
Thanks,

Thank You

I can most likely import any file format used by AutoCad.
A section of that drawing is made up of simple lines (the section joining the rectangle and the cylinder).
I would like to covert that section to a solid and union it with the rest.
Wow thats weired. Oh well thanks for trying Ken. The file prob. could be on my end.
Thanks,
Pete

Hi Syil_Australia,
I do not have the CNC equipment as of yet but could you give me the name of the Wizards for the Internal & External threading so I can file the names for when I will need them....
Thanks for the info. I would rather do it the shop than pull my har out with CAD.
Hi Impact,
The part I have designed will be cut on a cnc mill (which I don't have yet). Also the large diameter (70 mm) internal and external thread will be done with the mill.
If the thread is...
Hello,
What would be the best way to go about adding a large fastener type thread to my design.
Should I creat it from scratch?
I am using progeCAD, most commands are the same as AutoCad....
wow! pedit worked perfectly.
Gerry thank You very much.
lifesaver,
Pete
the attached dwg. is the entity I am trying to solid revolve.
Thank You
Pete

Hi Gerry,
What are the steps in AutoCAD to revolve a solid.
When I try it with progeCad I start with lines and arc closed, select revolve solid and I am not able to select the entity and command...
progeCAD does have revolve solid.
I will try that what should I start with when I use the revolve solid (2D lines and arc)?
Thanks,
Pete
I started with an arch revolved it. Is it possibles to covert this entire entity to a solid.
Thanks
Pete
