wilfredo_torres Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Trying to DWG a Auger in 3D but can not find the way to do so. Using AutoCAD 2000 yes it still works, Tryed to use Extrude and Revolve commands but it did not work. what am i missing to do this or what are the steps for it.

MSasu Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Welcome to the Forum, Wilfredo_torres! It will be useful to post a skecth (even found on Internet) of what you want to model; seems that there were more than one item named "auger". But since most looks to involved a helicoidal shape, I suggest you to check for an AutoLISP routine that draw such and use that as path for an extrude operation.

ReMark Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 A helix would be useful in this particular situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Similar to this? I used the built-in Helix command and swept the blade profile along it. You'll have to use the Extrude command. A link to another helix.lsp routine written by forum member mfuccaro and originally posted here at CADTutor. http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/archive/index.php/t-1396.html Edited July 21, 2014 by ReMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I used the built-in Helix command .... Just to avoid confusing the OP, the Helix command was not added to AutoCAD till r2007, you will have to use the LISP routine linked by ReMark.
