![]() The Extrude command was updated to work better in the 3D world as well. Also, the entire boundary must be displayed on the screen in order for Presspull to work. Incidentally, if the system variable IMPLIEDFACE is turned off, you won't be able to perform this very cool command, so make sure it's on. ![]() When using Presspull on a bounded area that resides on an existing solid, pressing the area inward performs a subtract while pulling the area outward performs an extrude. Presspull works equally well on areas bounded by other solids. In fact, this figure was taken straight from the new friendlier Help file. AutoCAD's Help file does a beautiful job of demonstrating this with an AVI - look for the demo under Concepts after searching Presspull. If you draw a bounded area on the side of an object and press it inward, it cuts through the object! Forget the days of Boolean operations, unions and subtract - now you can use the much smarter Presspull command. The cool thing about Presspull is that all you have to do to start it is to hold down Ctrl+Alt, pick within your bounded area and the solid is dynamically created before your very eyes - no need to key in anything! You can also pull it up or press it down. You create a bounded (closed) area and Presspull lets you dynamically turn it into a 3D solid. ![]() One of my absolute favorite additions to AutoCAD is the new Presspull command. ![]() Once again, I suggest working from the new Dashboard, your one stop shop for all things 3D - or 90% anyway. Last month, we made our way through 3D solid primitives, and this month we'll continue our journey through 3D as we tackle some other ways to create 3D objects. Circles and Lines: As the 3D World Turns 5 Sep, 2006 By: Lynn Allen Discover AutoCAD 2007's Presspull, Extrude and Revolve commands for 3D.ĪutoCAD 2007 offers some fabulous (and easy-to-use) 3D tools that just might entice more users to step away from 2D and enter this new dimension. ![]()
