hi,

i want to make a wire .

so

i draw a curve line like a sort of sinus like this : ~

i create a cylinder.

now i want the cylinder to take the curve as his middle line so that i get a nice wire.

its just one command or something but i cannot find it.

thanks

sounds like you should use Surfaces - Extrude. You dont need a cylander for this though, instead of the cylander, use a Nurbs Circle.

Put the nurbs circle at the end of your curve ( ~ this shape you made) and select the circle, then shift select the curve, and do surfaces - extrude. That should work.
