martinle Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hello! I often draw with the command "band". Is there a way to transform these objects into polylines or trace? Apologies for the bad English! lg. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organic Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 You may need to upload the lisp file that is the workforce behind the command 'band'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Can't say that I've ever heard of a command named "Band". Are you trying to join normal lines into a polyline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharwat Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I have not heard about a command named band and it returns unknown command ..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinle Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hello! In German there is a command band. Similar to the multi-line command. The band command is very useful and can be drawn with or without filling. Depending on whether the filling is placed on one or out. I wonder if there is such a Lisp to convert a tape into a polyline object already exists?

martinle Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Is there no command in the English band ??????? Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharwat Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Is there no command in the English band ??????? What does that command do ? And what do you mean by *convert a tape* ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinle Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 so: In German there is the instruction tape. This distinguishes an object similar to the multi-line command. When you run the command, the bandwidth is queried, similar to the scale in multi line. If one then draws a man receives a rectangular object. The object is in Autocad band. This object can be stretched in all directions, etc. will not only offset. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Almost sounds like the polyline command using the width (band?) option. Fillmode would govern whether a polyline with an assigned width displays as being filled or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinle Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Yes similar. Only exist in German Auto Cad (think of this command is documented anywhere anymore, I did anyway) the band object. Commands: Band! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharwat Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Upload a dwg contains that type of entity , Can you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I could type that command all day in the U.S. version of AutoCAD and all I would get is "Unknown command". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyke Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 The English command for the German command BAND is TRACE. martinle: try entering the command _TRACE and it should show you what you get with BAND, don't forget the underscore (Unterstrich) before the command. The Help states that the command has been "removed from the product", but BAND and _TRACE both work for me on my German language version of 2012. As far as I know trace objects cannot be transformed int lines or polylines in AutoCAD, but I've not tried programmatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinle Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hi Tyke! Thank you are my salvation!! I've already thought I was the only known on this planet of this command yet. My English is very bad ......... unfortunately. That's why my friend Google translator! Maybe now I can help now because a command of English is known.

Tyke Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 TRACE (BAND) produces a series of unconnected four cornered shapes of constant width and each of these shapes has a node on each corner. When adjacent shapes form an angle the resulting joint is mitred. In principle the coordinates of the end of each shape could be meaned to give the start and end point of a line, but you would have to do that programmatically. The question is why on earth don't you use a polyline with a width? I can see noo advantage in using TRACE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinle Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hi Tyke! The advantage is the miter a corner! This can be drawn very quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
