I have a lips that creates a zero radius fillet.
(defun c:FZ () (setvar "FILLETRAD" 0)(command "_.fillet" "multiple"))
This works great.I would like to expand this by turning the line into a polyline..
I've been searching on and off all morning for a lisp routine, without any luck. I'm trying to draw a pline with a pre determined width (5") and be able to draw unlimited line segments then automatically fillet with a pre determined radius (5").
I wrote this generic macro: ^C^CPLINEWID;5;PL;\\;FILLET;R;5;F;P;LAST; to save SOME time but I want unlimited line segments. Can this be modified or would a lisp be the better route to go?
I really need a auto lisp that do lines/polyline on line edges creating a polygon like the example.

in the other word, a lisp program that prompted for a closed polyline and draw a wipeout by selected polyline.
I have this routine for using a selected arcs rad value as a new fillet rad. If you like, a "match fillet" routine:
;Fillet Copy
;Copies the Radius of an Existing Fillet or Arc;
(defun C:filletcopy ()
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(setq c1 (entsel "
Select Fillet to Copy:"))
(setq c1 (entget (car c1)))
(setq rad (cdr(assoc 40 c1)))
(setvar "filletrad" rad)
(princ "
Select Lines:")
(command ".fillet" pause pause)
)
I use the routine loads but could modify so it would pick up the value of a filleted polyline? As it stands it can only select an individual arc. I would like the routine to be able to pick individual arcs and/or filleted polylines, without exploding first, if possible....
I would like to take all the vertices out of a multiple-vertices polyline so that it reduces to just its start and end points, can this be done?
View 4 Replies View RelatedDue to modeling purposes, I need to convert a 3D polyline to a spline. What I have been doing is:
- change polyline fit/smooth to cubic from properties
- convert polyline to spline by typing spline -> object
- method -> fit from properties
You can see the original 3D polyline (green) and the resulting spline (magenta) in the attached drawing.When I zoom in and measure the distance between the two entities at different points along them, at some points the perpendicular distance exceeds 5 millimeters, and I want to ensure the deviation remains under 1 millimeter or even less.
I know I can change the knot parameterization of the spline, and this does work at some locations, but the difference increases at others.Why is there a 5.6 mm difference between the spline fit point and 3D polyline vertex, as measure in the attached drawing?
Now, I can go and manually stretch the fit point to coincide with the vertex. Also, I can add fit points between existing ones to drag the spline closer to the original 3D poly.
However, some of my polys are really long, and it is very time-consuming to do this manually while measuring points along the entities to make sure the distance stays small enough.
how to automate this process? For example a lisp that would maybe take the original vertex points, add say maybe 3 (not too many) new ones between them, and then generate a spline while making sure the deviation is less than the set value of 1mm? I am using AutoCAD 2013.
I have this code to make fillet to a polyline, but the command does not allow specify fillet radius. How I can change the routine?
(defun C:filletv ( / ent ) (setvar "FILLETRAD" 2.500) (if (setq ent (entsel "
Select element near vertex: ")) (command "_fillet" "_P" ent) ) (princ) )
It's possible make a fillet with window selection?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am using acad 2010. I have a contour generator that uses 3d polylines to make contours. I get depressions or tops where I don't want them. I need a lisp routine that will allow me to adjust the z value only on any 3d polyline. I need to raise or lower the z value at any vertex and repeat if necessary. I don't need to prompt the user- I am the user.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI create contour line in TOPOGRAPH program, and I import these polylines to AUTOCAD. I have to set elevation for each polyline manually, and I waste a lot of time doing that.
So looking for lisp doing that automatically. I mean, invoke the command, set the first elevation and them select the polylines.
e.g. The first elevation is 530. The next polyline that I select is 531 and so on.
For the sake of editing, I sometimes make LWPOLYLINES and convert them to regions so that I can union and subtract and intersect, etc.
then sometimes, like now, I want to work with them like as LWPOLYLINES again.
is there some command I don't know, or some routine or shall I make one?
is there a way to draw a polyline and have autocad clip everything outside of that polyline and discard it so that i end up with a smaller drawing. only the information in that polyline, nothing outside of the polyline
View 3 Replies View RelatedCode below, for labeling polyline areas
It works great for what i want, with 2 exceptions the text is to small and the label is not inserted at the centroid of the polyline, rather it is placed outside the polyline.
i am able to increase the text style by adjusting the dimscale before i run the command, however it would be good if the program could do that automatically, i would like the text to be about 300 units high, and for the label to be placed at the centroid of the polyline

do you know command or lisp that will do new pollyline between two polyline on 1/3 or 1/4 space between them.
I need sommething that would be faster,know is use measure on pollilines then i draw between horizontall polylines on verteks or point new pollyline and then divide it on 4 or 3 parts.
i.e. one that would apply best fit lines and arcs to a segmented polyline?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have to intersect polylines "POLYLINE" and "LWPOLINE" with a line and get all the angles of all segments of the polyline that are intersected.
To do this I used a loop that monitors all the vertices of each polyline to find the two vertices of the polyline segment that intersects the line. Unfortunately, these polylines have thousands of vertices and the processing done in this way takes too long.
With the vlax-curve-getClosestPointTo I could very quickly find the vertex of the polyline closest to that intersected with the line, but I need to find the other vertex of the polyline segment to determine the angle of this.
Another question: is there a quick function that returns the exact point of intersection of two curves (e.g. A line and a polyline, or a line and a circle?
I´m looking for opportunities to can modify a polyline with 4 or more segments in a polyline with arc. I think it´s possible to pick start and end segment first and than all straight segments to will be in arc segments.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a drawing which contains about 100 "areas". These areas are closed polylines. I would like to get a total area of all these polylines.
I have tried using AutoCAD 2002's AREA command, but I am only able to select one item at a time, (AREA, Add, Object). This is fine for calculating a few areas. It gives me a running total of each item that I select.
Using the LIST command works OK for a few items, but you still have to wade through all the other information to get the area info for each item.
Is there a way to select crossing ALL the areas that I have, and have it return a total?
There are times that I have a really long curb polyline that has both line and arc segments. I wish to pick two points along that polyline and have it give me the distance between those two points along the path of the polyline.
Do we have this ability natively? Have I been missing something all this time? Normally I have to make a copy of the original entity, ... break, break, list erase or undo....
