Extrusion problem

Hi,

I am trying to extrude some joined polylines, arcs etc. The problem is some of them are extruding as a solid, which is what I want and some are extruding as a surface of the profile. I am a little but confused by this and any help wiould be appreciated

Thanks

Iain

You will get a solid by extrusion operation only if the base entity is a closed one; other will get a surface. But is this feature available in version 2002? I recall that non-closed entities were rejected in this version by EXTRUDE command.

I now have 2007. I thought that might be the problem but it is a closed entity...I can hatch it and select it as one thing

Sorted it. Exploded the object the pedit/multiple/small fuzz distance

Thanks

So the issue was that the entity was't actually closed. Glad that you got this solved.

Maybe a good idea to update your profile too with the new version of AutoCAD to avoid further confusions.

presspull might have been a better solution than extrude

Presspull.....had never even heard of it but I like it!!! Thanks

In case you aren't sure that you love it yet, watch the Tutorial on this site, after which you surely will.

presspull can use a boundary consisting of lines, polylines, arcs, circles and splines
