[gujde]

Im using Autocad 2004.Lets see eg. I draw rectang,extrude it (its a solid now),then i draw a circle,and aline going in z axis,with tabsutf comand i created a mesh.san i slice a solid in a way that it makes a hole in extruded rectangel.
P.s. Its importan that one is a mesh,not first solid and than substack them.....MESH!! :-) HELP!!! :)

Why don't you just EXTRUDE the circle with a thin thickness then you can Boolean SUBTRACT it from the rectangle ?

Convert the mesh into a solid. Than the Boolean operations will work.
If you have problems in converting - contact me via www.black-cad.de

What do you mean by transform mesh to solid?Is it possible?Can you also reverse the operation?

As a side note, you can't subtract a mesh from a solid. You can only use the boolean operations on a solid with another solid.
