Hello el reisubroc, and welcome to the forums.

 

It looks like the cylinder you have made in not a solid object.

What you would need to do is create a circle and then use the extrude command to pass the circle through the surface. This will then turn the cylinder into a solid item. The next command you need to use would be subtract.

You will need to follow the instructions on the command line.

(you can also hit the F1 key while in the subtract command and a small demo will appear.)

Thanks for answer me!!

 

I try to subtract the 3dface with the cylinder ... but autocad dont let me because it cant select the 3dface.

 

here is the code message:

 

"Command: subtract

Thx for your help!!:wink:

Ive just noticed that you said the objects and non-planar.

 

You need to covert the shapes around the cylinder using the

convtosurface command. then use the subtract command.

Steve, we can't all open 2010 *.dwg files.

It's just nice to view files posted. Just my opinion.

 

For posting, I might suggest saving and posting in earlier formats.

I use '07 (desktop), '05 laptops. Save to 2000 for posts or communicating with clients.

Or you can convert the file yourself with DWG TrueView.
