provas_ce Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hi there, i wants to draw a circle on a cylinder's surface[3D curved surface]. And that circle should be co-planer with the cylindrical surface. Please anyone can suggest about that? Any suggestion will be appreciate . Thanks in advance, Provas.

ReMark Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 AutoCAD 2007? Too bad you don't have 2011 or higher then you could use the PROJECTGEOMETRY command. I think all you have is IMPRINT. Not sure if that will work although there might be another way to do it. Can you post an image of exactly what you are working with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD Mather Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 That is a different problem. Simply create a curve. Create a circle. Sweep the circle on the curve path using the align option. Attach your file here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD Mather Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I assume you want something like this. Create spline (or other patch). Create circle (or other profile shape). Sweep, follow the command line options for Align - Yes, when selecting the path and the profile. If you create a complex profile you might first have to set up the UCS perpendicular to the end of the path with the UCS ZA O options before creating the profile at the beginning of the path. With a simple circle AutoCAD will do the alignment for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
