3./ How to revolve an object: Tutorial
4./ I had few problems during this exercise.
One is still unsolved. I have been using Autocad before and I know how to plot to PDF and I know what every command does in plot manager. But this time I do not get it. When I wanted to print floor plan; there were no lines on sight. Tried everything, nothing worked? For example, turning plot to monochrome, grayscale, changing printers,...  There is no hatch, no objects... 

Another one was line weight. After hatch, line weights changed. I didn't have command 'show line weights' turned on. And as you know, Acad gives every line the same weight. Again tried few solutions, one worked. I turned on 'show line weight', selected all lines and give them small weight approx. 0.05mm.
