Using animated gif line of Polyline

[rodrigo_sjc_sp]

Is there any way to use an animated gif as color of a Polyline?

 

I have a small gif that changes color, red and green.

 

Can I import into the Autolisp and use the moving image as

line color of Polyline?

Up to my knowledge, it is not possible to associate an image to a polyline as "color". What you can do is use an image as hatch pattern if you have Express extension installed - please check the SUPERHATCH command.

But please keep in mind that animated GIF isn't supported by AutoCAD - if you try to attach/insert/use as hatch pattern such file to your drawing only the first frame will be shown.

 

It depends what you want in fact to achieve, but an AutoLISP routine or a script that control display may do the trick - please check this previous discussion.

MSasu,

 

I managed to solve my problem another way, instead of using a gif,

 

Lee Mac, gave me the following help changing the colors of the polyline

In the future I will need to use GIF or JPG on my DWG, until then I will do more research on the subject.

 

thank you

I already noticed the solution provided by Lee Mac; in fact is quite similar with one approach from the thread I have suggested to you.

 

Regarding the usage of images in drawings, there are two methods: embed and link; both works very well with many image formats, although animated formats aren't supported up to this time.
