Extrusion problem

Recommended Posts

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

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.
