Either measure the distances and draw the profile polyline segments, or make an "orthographic" photo, underlay it your AutoCAD drawing a redraw its outline, or make a contrast photo a use a vectorization software or web service to generate the polyline outline.

There is nothing much to add - attach the image (IMAGEATTACH), while zooming, draw the polyline along the borders with the PLINE command (using the Arc or Line options where neccessary), add the horizontal segments pointing to the axis (JOIN), REVOLVE the polyline along the vertical axis, SCALE the model to real dimensions.

The one that I can't do is to draw the curve (which you said by using PLINE command) as close as possible to the image. Could you show me, perhaps using the GIF animation, so that I can see the process of how it is made?
