polyline solids

[ARCHIJEF2000]

Does anyone know how to rotate a polyline solid

[Ben Palmer]

Should rotate like any polyline box (plan view or elevation)....can you be more specific?

[Paul Schindler]

Have found that in plan view you can rotate on one axis, and in section view you can rotate about the other axis.

Hope this helps.

The only way I know is to make a symbol and rotate in the symbol creator. You can spin it but I don't think that is what you want.

I need to make a polyline with circular profile and then rotate it 45 deg. My plan was to use"'Crossroads ,but when I öpen the DXF there is nothing to see.

Did you export from a 3D view? Draw the shape you want and open a 3D view, I use the Overview for something like this, and export from that view.

One other thing. When I open a dwg or dxf, exported from Chief, in AutoCAD in most cases I must use the "View Extents" tool to se it properly.
