    Default How to make a circle half solid? Please anyone?

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I am using Autocad 2007 for school and for some reason can not figure out how to make a circle half solid.

    So I have my circle and I want half of it solid and half of the circle not solid. I know this is probably a silly question but I just can not figure it out.

    Thank you for the help.

    draw a line across the diameter of the circle & then select which half you want to hatch as solid.

    draw a circle then draw a line using quadrant snaps. then copy the circle with the line and trim your circle.Polyedit the half circle and line so you can extrude it to become a solid.Is PRESSPULL available in '07?

    Thank you both so much for answering so quick. I just tried the hatch and it seems to work perfect. Thank you both again so much, you are lifesavers.
