melox Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me. I'm trying to get my head around the presspull command. I've drawn a cube, then I've drawn two circles on top of the cube. One is offset from the other. I want to highlight the ring and use the presspull command to form a ring and extrude it to take out a ring shape in the cube. When I use the presspull command it should highlight the ring formed by the circles but it isn't doing so. Am I missing something? If you have Mastering AutoCAD 2007 by George Omura this exercise is on page 678. Regards, Michael. Quote
ReMark Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Perhaps you did not click inside bounded areas to press or pull as instructed. Try it again. It worked for me. I got it to fail by first turning my "ring" into a region and then using press/pull. Is that what you did? Quote
melox Posted January 4, 2010 Author Posted January 4, 2010 Honest Remark I've tried it loads of times. It works when I've made the ring independent of the box just not when its on top of the box. Just doesn't want to highlight the ring. Will have another go. Thanks for the reply. Regards. Quote

melox Posted January 4, 2010 Author Posted January 4, 2010 Sounds like it. Will try it on another PC. Thanks again. Quote
ReMark Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I would suggest retrying on your own PC. Even if I change the orientation of the UCS (Z in the "wrong" direction) it works. Quote
melox Posted January 4, 2010 Author Posted January 4, 2010 I'm clicking on the bounded and nothing is highlighted. When I use CTRL+ALT the Bounded area is highlighted, when I drag it down the way nothing happens. As I say it works fine when the Cube is not there. Thanks. Quote
JD Mather Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Attach the file exhibiting this behavior here. Do you have DUCS on? Do you have dynamic highlighting on? Quote
ReMark Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 You're defining a region by using a boundary? Hmmm....the way I got it to work was to click between the two circles that make up the ring. I did not create a region out of the two circles. Quote
melox Posted January 4, 2010 Author Posted January 4, 2010 Working now! Don't get it myself. Thanks for your help Gentlemen. Quote
