convert a poliline into 3d solid as a wire

[julia5smith]

Hello, I have a question, is it a way in Autocad 3d to convert a pline to a solid, so it becomes basically a cilindrical solid (as a wire), without doing any extrusions or lofts, is it posible to basically thicken it.... ? i need wire kind of solids going in many different directions with different angles x,y,z, like anchoring lines, so using solids and rotating them is inconvenient, it would be probably easyer to use plines if i could thicken them. Could you suggest me something?

I know the extrude command, and press-pull,loft  sweep, and ets , I am asking is it any way to convert a single open polyline into a solid, NOT the closed, joined polyline

no.  sorry, but sweep, etc are the tools you'd need to use.  there's no other way OOTB toconvert a plie into a solid.

Yoy may want to ask for help in the customization group -- and might be helpful if you explained +why_ the existing sweep command is not acceptable.
