First, you must have a region to extrude. The region command can be used to create the region(s) that you wish to extrude. To region lines/plines/splines, there must be an unbroken perimeter to use as the base for the region.

Once the object is regioned, then you extrude using the command of the same name, and follow the instructions in the command line:
select the object(s) to be extruded, hit enter
type in the height of extrusion, in the base units of the drawing, hit enter, or goto <path>
put in the taper angle that you wish to be used in the extrusion, hit enter
<path> to select the path option, you must first have a line or pline to extrude along, and then do the extrude command. Select the object to extrude, enter, p(ath), enter, click on the path, enter
Hope this helps!

Re: 2D Extrusions on AutoCAD

The path option is a great feature of autocad. You can do ment tubes or wire type things by drawing out a spline as a path. Also, Make sure that when you extrude that the UCS XY plane is parrallel to the closed poly that you are extruding
