fyi - poly lines and pedit


Recommended Posts

Posted

Well,

 

I am usually asking questions but I figured something out that I cant believe I had not known and felt I should prob share with the community. I am drawing cylindrical ductwork with many compicated curves and was messing around with my old enemy, Mr. Spline. Every time I choose spline from the drawing tab and try to draw its a mess. I knew the pedit command but really didnt know how to utilize it. Well, to draw crazy curves winding its way through a snake like figure it is great to use the polyline drawing tool. I draw tiny straight lines that make up a curve and after I finish the section I like, I highlight the polyline, type pedit, and click spline. OMG my life is so much easier I wish I new this so long ago:). Hopefully this helps others. Only took 2 years.

Also check the Fit option of PEDIT command - if you need to constrain the curve to pass through polyline's vertexes.
