It's been a while since I worked in 3D AutoCAD, but as far as I know you would need to use solid object to subtract from another solid object.
Or maybe I'm wrong in thinking that?

can I turn revsurf and rulesurf objects into solids?

LOL, like I said, it's been a while, so maybe not. I forgot those are "loft" type objects and not solid extrusions.

I found I was able to convert all objects to mesh using CONVTOMESH and to surface using CONVTOSURFACE. CONVTOSOLID will not work with the objects.

However, SUBTRACT will work with surfaces.
