To extract the 2D views first go into model space and set the view to TOP. Then switch to your layout to create your 2D views using SolView and SolDraw. Another option would be to use FLATSHOT but you have to be in model space not a layout to use that command. |

I haven't opened your drawing. Are you still trying to put in the handrail? If "yes" then use either the Extrude or Sweep command. Do you have a profile of your handrail or is it just a circle? |

I have done everything.You should to see the drawing to understand what i mean. If you take a look from the top view, the handrail is not exactly in the center of string.Im looking for more accurate and faster way to do so. May be it should be done on the lisp routine.

I can't seem to download your drawing. Never mind. I got it.
One problem I see right away is that you have a section of a helix, in red, partially overlapping another helix, in white.That's not good. There is no faster/more accurate way to do it. Have you written lisp routines? Would you use a spline to create the centerline of the handrail? Edited by John Connor - 24.Jan.2014 at 18:47 |

Yes i know about overlapping as i said is not a original drawing. Might be I'll try to write in autolisp, dont know yet. I used the arcs, splines and helix for central line.

Well the problem with that is since the centerline is not a single, continuous entity then you will have to sweep or extrude your handrail profile, whatever it might be, along each and every segment and in the process make sure you have no overlapping that could cause problems afterwards.
Good luck doing that. I'll be interested in seeing the final result. |

Thank you for replies and good luck to you. I'll upload for you a picture of final design
