Re: Acad 2002

Acad is a cumbersome tool for organic, free-form 3D surfaces or
shapes. It is best suited for right-angles and some mathematically
simple, fixed geometry 3D solids.

Try Rhino instead. You'll like it much better.

This comes from a registered ACAD 2005 user since ACAD release 9. It
fit on 3 (?) floppy disks way back then.:-)

get the shape I want. I can't find a way of bending a cone around a
quarter circle starting with the base at 3" radius and ending up a
quarter turn around the circle at 3/4" radius. This would then be
mirrored to form the other side of the front.
