How to ... hatch or solid ...

Hello,

I have created this little lisp for drawing two arcs in the "young moon" shape inside picked circle. Now I need your help to teach me how to hatch or solid fill that area ...

(defun c:test ()

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;get info of circle

(setq circleObj (car(entsel "\nSelect circle :")))    ;Get ename of circle object picked

(setq e_circleObj (entget circleObj))        ;Get record of Entity Circle
(setq cp (cdr (assoc 10 e_circleObj)))        ;Get Center Point by dxf 10
(setq r (cdr (assoc 40 e_circleObj)))        ;Get Radius by dxf 40


;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;Calculation

(setq a1 (* 2 (/ r 10)))
(setq r1 (- r a1))
(setq r2 (sqrt (+ (expt a1 2) (expt r1 2))))
(setq alfa1 (- (* 2 pi) (atan (/ r1 a1))))
(setq alfa2 (atan (/ r1 a1)))

;Arc 1
   (progn
    (entmakex 
     (list (cons 0 "ARC")
      (cons 10  cp)
      (cons 40  r1)
      (cons 50 (* 3 (/ pi 2)))
      (cons 51 (/ pi 2))
     );end list
    );end entmakex
   )end progn

;Arc 2
   (progn
    (entmakex 
     (list (cons 0 "ARC")
      (cons 10  (polar cp pi a1))
      (cons 40  r2)
      (cons 50 alfa1)
      (cons 51 alfa2)
     );end list
    );end entmakex
   )end progn

Thank you very much for you help.

You may create a polyline from those arcs and call HATCH command on it:

(command "_PEDIT" entityArc1st "" "_J" entityArc2nd ""
        "_HATCH" "_P" "SOLID" "_S" (entlast) "" "")

Thank you Miricea for your reply.

I also like your approach (I was thinking the same), but I dont know how to "call" arcs after pedit command to join them .... I tried to put your code after defining second arc and I got some error messages ....

Maybe you think I should (not) do that

The ENTMAKEX function will return the name of the entity:

[color=red];    (progn[/color]
[color=blue]    (setq entityArc1st[/color]
     (entmakex 
      (list (cons 0 "ARC")
       (cons 10  cp)
       (cons 40  r1)
       (cons 50 (* 3 (/ pi 2)))
       (cons 51 (/ pi 2))
      );end list
     );end entmakex
[color=blue]    )[/color]
[color=red];    )end progn[/color]

Also, there is no need for those PROGN.

Thank you again Mircea for help and lesson .

You're welcome!

So, did you manage to finnish your routine?

Regards,

Mircea

Yes Mircea, with your great help I manage to finish this routine, and now it looks like this:

(defun c:test ()

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;get info of circle

(setq circleObj (car(entsel "\nSelect circle :")))    ;Get ename of circle object picked

(setq e_circleObj (entget circleObj))        ;Get record of Entity Circle
(setq cp (cdr (assoc 10 e_circleObj)))        ;Get Center Point by dxf 10
(setq r (cdr (assoc 40 e_circleObj)))        ;Get Radius by dxf 40


;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;Calculation

(setq a1 (* 2 (/ r 10)))
(setq r1 (- r a1))
(setq r2 (sqrt (+ (expt a1 2) (expt r1 2))))
(setq alfa1 (- (* 2 pi) (atan (/ r1 a1))))
(setq alfa2 (atan (/ r1 a1)))

      (cons 50 (* 3 (/ pi 2)))
      (cons 51 (/ pi 2))
     );end list
    );end entmakex
   );end setq


;Arc 2
   (setq entityArc2nd
    (entmakex

      (cons 40  r2)

    );end entmakex

;Draw poly

(command "_PEDIT" entityArc1st "" "J" entityArc2nd "" ""
        "_HATCH" "SOLID" "_S" (entlast) "" )

Again thank you very much you taught me a lot .
