      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I imported a .dwg from illustrator, exploded it, and when I come to extrude it, the parameters get shrunk into a weird shape. So when I subtract into another object, It's no longer an "h" but the awkward shape in the letter shown below.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;@Anonymous&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would like to try this process. Is it possible to share the Illustrator file so I can try this too?&amp;nbsp; My version of Illustrator is part of CS5 so you might experience something different than I will.&amp;nbsp; I suspect that the output from Illustrator is not "flat" (all in one plane).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>I believe the shapes, which came from Illustrator (after you explode block) are splines.&lt;BR /&gt;Have you tried to convert them to poly lines with SPLINEDIT command:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-for-mac/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2018/ENU/AutoCAD-MAC-Core/files/GUID-216FEC99-80A1-4D1E-BC5B-010690C6FED1-htm.html" target="_blank"&gt;https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-for-mac/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2018/ENU/AutoCAD-MAC-Core/files/GUID-216FEC99-80A1-4D1E-BC5B-010690C6FED1-htm.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;before trying to extrude.&lt;BR /&gt;Plus - are you sure you use EXTRUDE command?&lt;BR /&gt;Have you trued PRESSPULL?&lt;BR /&gt;Can you attach sample Illustrator file, which you are trying to import to AutoCAD?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The imported illustrator .dwg file creates a Block Reference.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I explode this, then extrude. When I select press/pull, my mouse pointer turns into the turning colourful swirl, and just continues to spin and AutoCAD goes unresponsive.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Attached are the file and .dwg - illustrator created file.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes, I see the problem.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Looks like slines, created by AI exporter are very complex for EXTRUDE command in AutoCAD.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The workaround I have found is to convert splines to REGIONS using REGION command, then you will be able to extrude them (see attached drawing - red are splines, converted to regions).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;Did you perform the SUBTRACT command from each "a" and the "b"?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I tried two ways. EXPLODING&amp;nbsp;the .dwg file, REGION, SUBTRACT the inner pieces of 'a's, when I try subtracting the 'b' I get an error 3006. Googled it but nothing on it&amp;nbsp; &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/html/@2A666A96CF28BAE43EAD69B866A20C35/emoticons/1f615.png" alt=":cara_asombrada:" title=":cara_asombrada:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I tried to EXPLODE &amp;gt; REGION &amp;gt; EXTRUDE, but then the inner parts are extruded as well. How did you get the b to be empty in the middle?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I can't thank you enough for your continuous help as well Maxim, I truly appreciate it&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Did you perform the SUBTRACT command from each "a" and the "b"?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Yes&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I forgot to mention that for some reason AutoCAD unable to extrude the inner parts of a and b letters if they are converted to regions. So I tried to extrude initial splines which came from AI and they were extruded (!?).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Then I used SUBTRACT command to make "holes" in a and b letters - see attached DWG.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;So when you exploded the illustrator file the letters were a spline?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;When I exploded them they became a hatch. I can use the file you edited, but I just want to understand how to do it for myself for future projects.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Import file &amp;gt; EXTRUDE to break reference objects (becoming a hatch) &amp;gt; Create a REGION from the hatch to be able to extrude.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;How did you get splines?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;So when you exploded the illustrator file the letters were a spline?&lt;BR /&gt;After exploding you get not only Hatch, but also hatch boundary in a form of Spline. &lt;BR /&gt;So I erased hatches and used splines for creating 3D Solids (some of which had to be converted to regions).&lt;BR /&gt;</description>
