ReMark Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 nestly has the better idea so I suggest you follow it. I was really hoping to score me a new logo. My avatar needs a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jafooli Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Ok thanks Remark, my working day is almost up so will try it first thing tomorrow, Thanks again for all your help, will no doubt speak tomorrow. Take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thank nestly. He came up with the solution. Doing it was the easy part. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I tried a couple different things, and I'm not confident any will actually help. I'm probably out of ideas, hopefully ReMark, or one of the others that are more familiar with splines can help resolve your problem. Splines to 2D Polylines with PEDIT Splines to 2D Polylines with PEDIT, then to Lightweight polylines with CONVERTPOLY Splines and 3D Polylines to 2D Polylines with FLATTEN (I had poor results) I'm not really sure what to do with the "ISP2" part, those are 3D Polylines and neither PEDIT nor CONVERTPOLY work. new block-nestly.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I tried the R12DXF route, and then Weeded some of the vertexes. Here is my result Splat-Mk2.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 funny enough msasu no it does not, only end to end I would be puzzled if it would stop at middle – seems legitimate to stop on vertexes. To my knowledge there is no AutoCAD entity to resemble a curve without vertexes or control points (only start and end).

Dadgad Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Yeah, you're right. One of us bad boys of CAD might want to steal it and start a rival company just to put your's out of business. That's why we hang around here all day. LoL This is a joke for those of you with no humor gene. 'Hell's Angles'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mateen Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 i think flatten is last hope to convert spline to polyline...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Nothing wrong with having a little fun, but neither is being cautious about making company property public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I've never had the urge to steal another company's logo though. One would have to be pretty desperate to stoop that low but I guess it isn't out of the realm of possibility. My point was that the majority of us (99.9999%) are here to help solve problems not steal content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I took a long look at what I created yesterday and I have to admit that I failed. The resultant geometry after the splines were flattened is terrible. My apologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resultant geometry after the splines were flattened is terrible. My apologies. The FLATTEN command is terrible for complex curves, shockingly bad.

ReMark Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 As I just found out. It might just be better tracing the letters using a polyline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Flatten does seem to behave differently if you opt for Hidden Line removal or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Then there is "hope" after all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) I'm not really sure what to do with the "ISP²" part, those are 3D Polylines and neither PEDIT nor CONVERTPOLY work. I had fair results using the Boundary command, though the S and ² act very strange, no matter what. I exploded every thing till nothing left to explode, ran overkill a few times then PEDIT>M>Join until ended up with quite a large fuzz factor (10000). The white is the BOUNDARY results.
