CafeJr Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Guys, Attached here I have one drawing with a pline exported from another software, I receive a lot of this kind of entity with the same error, someone know's how to fix it, or it's possible redraw it with another line but as the same format!... (Try to do a offset of 20 mm about that entity, to both sides, not works) It's possible work with a lisp to redraw it? Thanks...

CheSyn Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 What error are you getting? I was able to offset without any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CafeJr Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yes GP_, you was faster than me!... It's that happens, the line was broken... for both sides of offset command!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheSyn Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 That's odd, I am not seeing a break in the polyline when I do it? EDIT - Nevermind, I just tried again and the polyline is now breaking. It works with smaller offsets, so I'm guessing it has to do with the dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CafeJr Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 That's odd, I am not seeing a break in the polyline when I do it? CheSyn, maybe could be the AutoCad version!... I'm working with AutoCad 2010... Attached you can see another one!... For small steps in some cases it works, but, in some cases!!!...

eldon Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I was intrigued, so I had a go. First of all I converted to r2000 with DWG TrueView. Then I offset in 5 units each side, and finally went to 40 offset each side. No breaks at all with both files. They must have "improved" things since r2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one is the worst of each... So, as I told I receive it from anther program, I don't know if convert it will help or I'll lose "datas"!... I can't change any features from these pelines!...

eldon Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yes. Here is a picture of the second file, with offsets at 5mm spacing up to 30mm each side. I have no breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea about what's going on!... It happens with other colleagues using the same version of AutoCad here at my office!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 OK, here is food for thought. I uploaded your original drawings into AutoCAD 360, and first of all zoomed into one of the curved shapes. And then tried to offset. It seems that up-to-date AutoCAD does not like your entity, whereas the old AutoCAD just plods along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if you explode the entity (second one), you'll see a group of 1486 entities, maybe it could be the problem!!!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I have not yet found the Explode button in AutoCAD 360, but in the converted version, I get 1186 lines when I explode your second drawing. Are you allowed to 'Save As' the original entity down to a lower version, and then try to use that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you allowed to 'Save As' the original entity down to a lower version, and then try to use that ? Allowed? I don't know, I guess that's possible!... I'll try it, but, I need to came back to 2010 to work with the end offset line (the line with 20mm of offset), it could result in another wrong entity!...

CheSyn Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 If I offset 5mm, then 5mm from the previous until 20mm is reached, the polyline displays without any issues. If directly offsetting 20mm, the polyline will not display correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If directly offsetting 20mm, the polyline will not display correctly. Yes, with steps of 1 or 0.1 it works until you reach the 20mm (do it on 20 plines like that for each one, it's sooooo cool!... He he he...), and, as I told you, it does not always work, in some cases neither small steps help!... It's necessary to break the polyline or create another one drawing a contour and using the bpoly command to create a region with that shape...

Noooopppp... doesn't work!... I'd tryed with 2000 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I am amazed how differently the various versions work, or perhaps it is the computer. Mine may have super powers. I started afresh, downloaded your second file, converted it with DWG TrueView, opened it in my AutoCAD 2002, and offset 50mm both sides straight away without going in steps. The top offset was perfect, but the bottom one has got a break!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CafeJr Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Could be the user (me, obviously), not the Cad version!... Ha ha ha... I have no idea about what's happening!... But, as brazilian guys says: I'm brazilian, so, brazilian never give up!... He he he... Edited October 24, 2013 by CafeJr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CafeJr Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Look that!... I found one issue about 2010 pline trouble, it's on this link: http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=29893.0 (AutoCAD 2010 quick fix reminder for polyline issues) ;Acad2010doc.lsp ;=============================================================================== ; Turn off command line responses (setvar "CMDECHO" 0) ;=============================================================================== (command "convert" "Polyline" "All") (prompt"\n Converted polylines to fix 2010 formatting.....\n") ;=============================================================================== ; Turn on command line responses (setvar "CMDECHO" 1) ;=============================================================================== This command convert don't works... Looking for it, I noticed that with the properties command, it show me that polyline is a "polyline" as I expect, but, when I saw the properties using list command it is a LWPOLYLINE...
