problem with the revsurf command. PLEASE HELP!

hi all!

I've a little problem with the REVSURF command in AutoCAD 14.

I have a circle and a line. I want to rotate the circle around the
line to create a sort of a torus. Should be about 45 degrees, so it
doesn't create a complete torus like the AutoCAD "Torus" command.

Now the direction of the created surface depends on where I click on
the rotation axis (the line). When I draw this revolved surface
manually, there are no problems, because I can choose where I click on
the rotation axis.

But if I want to draw it through the ADSRX application development
system, I can't choose where to pick the axis. My code looks as this:


//draw the circle
ads_command(RTSTR, "_circle",
RT3DPOINT, CenterPoint,
RTREAL, Radius, RTNONE);
ads_name circle;
ads_entlast(circle); //saves a reference to the circle

//draw the rotation axis
ads_command(RTSTR, "_line",
RT3DPOINT, StartPoint,
RT3DPOINT, EndPoint,
RTSTR, "", RTNONE);
ads_name line;
ads_entlast(line); //saves a reference to the axis line

//create revolved surface
ads_command(RTSTR, "_revsurf",
RTLB, RTENAME, circle, RTLE, //passes the circle
RTLB, RTENAME, line, RTLE, //passes the rotation axis
RTREAL, 0.0, //start angle = 0 °
RTREAL, 45, RTNONE); //included angle = 45 °



Now how can I control in which direction the circle is rotated?


Thank you very much for your appreciated help!
