ReMark Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 You are talking about the "U" shaped handle on the side of the object pictured above right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yes, if you had followed my original advice back when you posted the question the first time (as demonstrated in post #6 above). Create the centerline profile (a single, radiused polyline) then use the Sweep command with the appropriate sized circle. Simple. I have a feeling you have three line segments and two arcs and that's why you got the results you did. You can combine all these entities into a single polyline by using the PEDIT command and its JOIN option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevep80 Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yeah i understand now, I wasn't using a polyline before. Many thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
