shift1313 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 This may be a silly question but I havent needed to draw surfaces in autocad in the past few months. At work i am running 06 and 07. In 06 i have a tab with surfaces like ruled surface, tab surf etc. For the life of me I cannot find this in 07. I have spent the past couple months doing most of my surface modeling in unigraphics and i ended up needing to modify an old dwg and i just couldnt find the tools i needed in 07. I ended up going back to release 06 to draw what I needed. I setup my workspace to run in "classic mode" and went all through the tool bar customization with no luck. The help file had listings for all the tools i wanted to use but made no mention of a location. Is there something special about 07 that im missing? I know the user interface changed, but Ive been working entirely with solid models and no surfaces up until this point. thanks in advance.

Cad64 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 The Surfaces toolbar is gone in 2007. The commands still exist though, which is why it's a very good idea to learn your command line shortcuts so you can always type them in at the command line. Commands: RULESURF TABSURF REVSURF EDGESURF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 thanks cad. i know most of them and use them more than the icons but i dont typically draw surfaces in autocad so i was a little rusty. Rulesurf and tabsurf are the two i use most often but sometimes its nice to have the icons as well in case i get mental block, espeically when transitioning between unigraphics, inventor and solidworks, my commands tend to slip. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 For sure you know that you can create new buttons and assign any commands you wish to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 yes fuccaro but i wasnt sure why that tool bar was gone. I thought it was an error that I could not find it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
