How can i test a polyline if its clockwise or counterclockwise? I have a routine that gets the area of polylines then if clockwise,the area is positive and negative if not. But I dont want to get the area just to test if its clockwise or not.
I have some closed polyline in a rectangular area like below screen shot. I want numbering these polylines counter clockwise or clockwise by selecting a reference polyline. In the below screen shot , I have highlighted a polyline (red marked). So , first I select that polyline and ask to numbering other polylines in couter clockwise.
The result of my requirement should be like below screen shot. how to do that? sample code in VB
I am trying to set up the bulge for a polyline, in order to set up the bulge currecty I need to know if the polyline was created clockwise or counterclockwise.
Deriving “counter clockwise” azimuth from “clockwise,I’m wondering if there is a technique to automatically derive the counter clockwise azimuth from the clockwise or vice versa.
Matrix3d cur = ed.CurrentUserCoordinateSystem; Vector3d x = new Vector3d(1, 0, 0); Vector3d y = new Vector3d(0, 1, 0); Point3d o = new Point3d(0, 0, 0); [Code] .....
Code is rotating well my model, but it's zooming to bad point. I want to zoom to the point from previous view, so I'm transforming it by new UCS - unfortunately something is going wrong (it's not this point what I want).
I'm using the liquify tool to fit a fake tattoo to a face, and I want to twist part of the tattoo to adjust for perspective. Unfortunately, the twirl tool in liquify is in fact a "Twirl Clockwise" tool- Counter Clockwise doesn't seem to be an option!
When using 3D pattern, and specifying a negative angle for counter clockwise, with an angle less than 360 degrees ( eg, 90 degrees ) the pattern will be spread over 360 degrees anyway.
Also, the directions in the application are wrong. negative angles are for counterclockwise, not clockwise.
Workaround: Make all patterns clockwise, and reverse the direction of the axis around which it rotates. This will achieve the desired outcome.
Due 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.
Is it possible to determine the sum of the lengths of all of the polylines on a certain layer? I'm trying to determine the total length of joint sealant on a building's exterior.
I 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.
I 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.
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
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?
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 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.
Creating a ribbon for Partial Customization files in the CUI, and I am trying to setup some buttons for existing polylines for example underground electric and overhead electric. When writing the macro what are some ideas for creating a polyline with the proper linetype for that particular object rather than changing the layer in layer properties dialogue.
I have a closed polyline that i can add the area to via a field in mtext using the options under area. I would like the area to always be rounded down to the nearest square meter. Is the a way to do this via the acfields.fdc file?
I have to go through quite a few drawings and extract the attribute vales of the whole drawing and then a subset contained within a couple of polylines.
The whole drawing is Ok as I can use at out or the data extraction, but its the ones contained within a polyline. How do I do that?
I have run into a little trouble in trying to figure out how to create a arc polyline with entmake. I've put together the following and it works great with command "pline". I just want to know how to do it with entmake.

I am writing a routine that will place a piece of text at a specified point along a polyline. My problem is to determine the angle for the text. It needs to be the same as the segment of the polyline that it falls on. Just can't get my head around how to get that angle?
I can get a list of the vertex point of the polyline, but how do I determine the segment the point falls on?
I have a inserted block with 4 tags for Length, Thickness, Elevation and Width.How can extract attributes tag values and draw a closed polyline + 2 internal lines, parallel to the block?
