how can i switch my autocad 2009 from 2d to 3d

Do you mean turn a 2D drawing into a 3D drawing, which a lengthy discussion if you are using LT ? Or do you mean view a 3D drawing that was created by someone else - which you do by using the menubar - View option - Select 3D views (about halfway down) and then pick one of the isometric options (the last 4)

i mean turn 2d drawing unto a 3d drawing

LT has limited 3D capability. For full capability you would require full AutoCAD.

 

Are you attempting to do 3D solid/surface/mesh modelling?

Depending on what it is you want in 3D AutoDesk Inventor Fusion is still available for download. Better hurry if you want it. No telling when it will be pulled.

If it is an architectural model then Inv. Fusion is not what you want. It's more suited for mechanical models.

yes that is what i want

[alismaily2]

and the problem is i cant see 3d option in my autocad

As ReMark said LT has very limited 3D capability, there are no tools provided in the menubar, ribbon or toolbars.

And only a few of the objects that you draw can be used in 3D. Take a look in the Autocad help file at the HIDE command, it gives a description of the type of objects that can be used, but there are no built in commands to make it easy.

So you have an architectural drawing that you want to go from 2D to 3D? You will have to find another method. One that immediately comes to mind is SketchUp. Have you heard of it? There is a free version as well as a "Pro" version which will cost you.

What exactly are you wanting to do? So far you have been a bit vague on this Show us the drawing and I am sure we can find you a solution.
