   Good Morning!!! 

My company has been using CAD 2004 for years........ They've finally decided to upgrade to CAD LT 2009 in order to "save" on the cost. 

In upgrading we've also invested in an LT Extender so we can use our customized LISP routines and some ARX programs that we've developed in the past. 

I've gotten nearly everything from our old package up and running, but..... we use extruded poly lines all the time for various reasons and have even created time saving buttons and features that auto select and extrude various poly lines that are created during our standard work procedures. 

As I'm sure everyone here knows....... LT has no extrude functionality.... 

Does anyone know of an app or lisp routine or ARX program that can be used to do anything similar? This is needed more than just a little bit and my boss seems to think it should be as simple as grabbing a file or two from our old CAD 2004 install that isn't part of the LT package and poof it should all just work. 

So Now I'm looking for anything even remotely similar so that we can do simple extrusions. It's the ONLY feature for 3D modeling that's needed as all our 3D files are created in MAX and converted into DWG format. 

Anyone out there have any ideas?
