Hi Rupert & Roland,

I apologise for not getting back to you sooner, I don't usually draw in polylines so I had a bit of a learning curve. I had tried drawing a polyline and revolving it before asking for help but couldn't get it to work. Clearly I was doing something wrong if you can do it. Having spent the last couple of days away from my computer it was nagging my quiet time until a light went on! Adding together what you have both suggested I drew a polyline D and revolved it around a line 2mm below the D, then I filled in the centre with a 4x4mm cylinder and used union to make my object.

I can now complete my design without the prospect of having to bang my head against the wall. Why I ever got into Acad is a mystery and I would have moved onto another CAD package, but I have been ruined because of the way Acad does things and what is left of my brain cells couldn't cope. Thank you for you help.

Regards, Terry
