square to round

[shicks32]

Is it possible to draw a Square to Round lofted sheetmetal part in Autocad 2015?  I tried using the loft command but the part doesn't look right.  I searched for a "how to" on Youtube but they only have one for Inventer.  Any ideas?

Attach your dwg attempt here.

I didn't Shell it, but see the example here on pg 17

This is what I'm trying to draw using AutoCAD 2015, size is not important at this point, I just want to know if it's possible, and if so, how?

Thank you for your help I'll try it

Add fillets in the corners and nodes to attach your Guide curves.

Of course Inventor does it for you - simply click the circle and rectangle.

Most likely guides are going to give the best results for that shape, but there's also a lot you can do with loft settings either during, or after the loft is created.
