Dec 12, 2011I am trying to create a CAD drawing for the construction of Paddle Pop sticks. It is the basic shape of the Magnum sticks, but it is tricky because it has a 140 diameter taper, from the top of the jig to the bottom. I am trying to make the circle attached to the shape of the stick, and the Sweep the circle around the shape. But when I try to sweep it around, it says "The sweep results in a self-intersecting circle". I am using AutoCAD 2012.
P.S. I have attached the .dwg file so that it makes more sense.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Sweeping Along A Complex 3DPolyline
Apr 16, 2013I am modeling an ASME pressure vessel with a 2:1 semi elliptical head upon which there must be a couple of lines of .375" trace tubing. I created a 3dpolyine that is the center line of this tubing, and joined all the segments into one so as to be able to sweep the whole thing and make one solid of the tubing run, but it simply will not sweep. I get a message this it is "unable to sweep the selected object." If I break the 3dpolyline, I can sweep parts of it, but the more complex the line segment, I again get the error message. I have attached a copy of the tubing centerlines.
The one on the left is the joined 3dpolyline, the one on the right is the 3dpolylines unjoined. (These were achieved using an intersection command of a rotated surface--the head profile--and an extruded surface--the tube tracing plan layout.) I have done this before, but only with the unjoined 3dpolyline, as in the right-hand example, but that is very time consuming as each segment must be swept. But I recently acquired a third-party LISP routine that joins the 3dpolylines into one. I'm thinking there must be a limitation on data of the 3dpolyline preventing the sweep, and wondering if there is a setting or system variable that will allow the more complex 3dpolyline to be swept.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Sweeping Threads In A Hole
Nov 7, 2012How to use sweep to successfully put threads in a hole. Attached is the drawing with a helical coil and an object in two different orientations (A and B). To the right of that, you can see the path they took for each. The object rotated from the original position before following the path. Tried changing the position of the object to sweep, but either it sweeps it 180 degrees from what it is already doing (still wrong) or the program says it is invalid and won't do anything till I put it back in the original rotational position and try again.

Nov 7, 2012I am trying to create a tube by sweeping a circle along a spline. I read many of the previous discussion threads on the topic but I still have some issues.
I first created my spline and transformed it in a polyline (some people recommended to do it). Then I created the circle. Finally I sweep the circle along the path.
The issues are the following:
1) when I look at the tube using the 2D wireframe mode, I can see that the primitives are not completely regular. In some points there are weird intersections and I don't know how I can fix them.
2) I hoped the tube was solid. However, when I exported (as .IGS) it and see in another program, I realized that it has only two circular caps at the extremities of the tube, but inside it is hollow.
I tried to transform it in solid or mesh or whatever, but it always gives me an error, saying that the object cannot be converted.

AutoCad :: Region Is Not Extruding To A Solid?
Feb 20, 2011I am starting up my class again using AutoCAD Civil 2011. I want to extrude a circle or just a closed pline to a solid. I have done this many times before, but now it is not extruding to a solid, just a "Surface Extrusion". My commands are C:circle; C:region; (shows as filled circle and confirms it is a region); and finally C: extrude ; when I extrude it it is not a solid but rather a hollow "Surface Extrusion". Is it a function of 2011 and something I have turned on?

As already visible on this picture I am having trouble with extruding some of the shapes of the shelves.
The tricky thing is what I have been doing differently with the one shapes where the extruding leads to the desired result and the others where it does not work. I have been trying different things: changed the shapes from splines to polylines etc. Does not work...
I´ll add a reduced version of the drawing here: the original shapes are on layer 0, the extrusions on 0 - X

View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Extruding To Complex Surface
May 16, 2012I can't post the original files, but I have gotten permission to post jpegs of what I am trying to do.
My end goal is to fill in between the grey part and the surface. The surface comes from another part in the assembly, and I used Copy Object to get the surface in this part file. Ideally I would like to do something like Extrude> To Next and select the surface as my terminator. I have done this with success with curved surfaces, but not complex curved surfaces. Does Inventor not handle extruding to complex curves?
Another option I tried was simply extending this part out beyond the surface using the Split feature to trim the part. Again, to no avail. I also tried creating a subassembly of this part and the part the surface is derived from with this part extending beyond the surface, deriving it and subtracting the surface part so I could use Delete Face with the Lump option. No dice there, either.
There was a hole in the side of the surface where I am trying to extrude the part (it is still open on the other side of the surface), but I used Patch and it seemed to fill it in just fine.
How to get accurate fill volume data in complex assemblies.

Apr 27, 2011The problem I'm having is presspull/extrude irregular shapes.
I have some really weird, irregular shapes that's consisted of fillets, lines, and arcs. For some reason I cannot REGION it. But I can HATCH it, and give it a solid inner part.
My irregular after being filled, can't be extruded. When I try extruding it, the command line goes "This kind of shape cannot be extruded", without any explanation, or keywords.
Then, if I try to PressPull, it only PressPull the outline of the irregular shape, without pulling out the inner bulk part.
Then if I try to do anything more, my AutoCad likes to go "About to regen -- proceed?" error.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Extruding Shapes Imported From Illustrator

When I click in the Extrude option and select any of this shapes I get an error saying that objects of this type can not be extruded. I'm completely stuck I've been going back and forth from illustrator to Autocad 2014 and I can't find what's wrong.
P.S. The shapes in Illustrator have no stroke or filling so you will have to "Select All" to see the whole thing. The DWG and AI files are inside the attached zip. The DWG has been exported using "File > Export" w/ "Maximum edit-ability" from Illustrator.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Extruding / Offsetting Complex Surface
Jan 7, 2014i need to create a solid by extruding/offseting a spline surface (attached picture). The problem is, a solid created by simply extruding this surface "outside" would cross itself, so autocad does not allow me to do it (neither extruding, surface offsetting is working) I tried to make a cube then using this surface as a splitting spline - however a solid created this way is flat on z-axis. How can I do this ? Everything is fine with the spline as well as a surface - it's closed one. Obviously the problem is in the fact in the self intersection of the extruded solid. So maybe using it to split a solid is a better approach?
