SweepSolid Curves

In past versions of Intent I've used PolyCurve to combine lines and arcs into one polycurve.
PolyCurve doesn't seem to be supported, is there another way to unitize lines and arcs so I can
sweep them?
Thanks Edited by: johnasp1 on May 18, 2010 1:41 PM

I think you're looking for PlanarProfile, John.

I tried using the PlanarProfile rule but this doesn't seem to work for my situation.
What I am trying to Sweep is a Line, an Arc (half of a circle), and a shorter line (at the other end of the arc).
I want to sweep this with a profile. I can sweepsolid each Line and arc separetly, but this requires positioning each profile. What I would like to do is make a polyline or polycurve and sweepsolid it. Thus only having to position the profile in one location. I would appreciate any help with this for I have upcoming project with many arcs and lines that I will need to sweepsolid with a profile.
I am using AutoCad 2011 and Intent 2011.
Thanks
