Sweep a circle along the centerline path of the handle.

You are talking about the "U" shaped handle on the side of the object pictured above right?

Please keep the same question in the same thread.

 

Please post what you have accomplished thus far.

Is this what you are trying to do?

Here's what i have so far just can't seem to get the rest of it.

Bet its simple.

Yes, if you had followed my original advice back when you posted the question the first time (as demonstrated in post #6 above). Create the centerline profile (a single, radiused polyline) then use the Sweep command with the appropriate sized circle. Simple.

 

I have a feeling you have three line segments and two arcs and that's why you got the results you did. You can combine all these entities into a single polyline by using the PEDIT command and its JOIN option.

Yeah i understand now, I wasn't using a polyline before.

Many thanks for your help.
