how do I draw this???

[raj banerjee]

hello there peeps,

im trying to draw a shape which I havnt got a clue how to do. I will try to explain, if you look in plan view you will have 2 circles, 1 will be 2 thirds the saze of the other, the smaller circle will be placed within the bigger one placed closely to the right hand side. I want the small circle to be lower than the bigger one, then I want the outer edges joined to make a solid which will be the shape of a funnel sort of thing bu it will be not centred, as in it will besteeper one side than the other.

 

does this make sense to anyone?

 

any help would be great

Sounds like a reducer or transition piece of some sort. Why not use the LOFT command?

Something like this?

From AutoCAD Help file:

 

LOFT: "Creates a 3D solid or surface in the space between several cross sections." In my example there are only two cross-sections represented by the circles. The Help file will instruct you in the use of the command.
