I'm having some difficultly getting an ellipse to revolve. The object
I've got consists of two ellipse sections joined by several straight
lines. When I select all of the objects to revolve, I get the message
'Unable to revolve 9 selected objects.' I've since tried to revolve an
ellipse segment and a line. No good Seems that anything involving an
ellipse won't work. I'm using 2000i and the help file says that this
should be possible. Can anyone help with this? If need be, I can
upload the file, it's only 26K.
Thanks in advance

The profile you are trying to revolve MUST be a closed region and cannot be
self intersecting.
Create the profile with your ellipses, trim or extend the line work, issue
the region command and select the profile, then revolve the region.
This will work but when I tried it the results were a little funky.
Thank you. I did have a closed area and it was on the same plane as
the axis, still didn't work. I then used the region command and it
worked. I will now be reading about the region command, I'd never
heard of it before.
Thanks again,
mike
