polyline to hatch

[gpd]

How do we convert a Polyline (global width > 0) to a solid hatch.

 

Thanks.

If the width is constant, note it down, then use PEDIT to set it to 0. Make two offset copies with half of said width, one on each side of the polyline. Close the contour with two lines; may want to call PEDIT again to get one closed polyline and/or to erase the original entity. Now you can apply a hatch pattern on it.

Thanks Msasu, But if we have a large number of polylines, then following above technique can be time taking. Better if we could just select the polylines and they get converted to solid hatches. Perhaps there is no built in tool available for this task.

 

Regards.

There is no built in tool available for the task. You'll need a custom lisp routine.

hi, I have solution may be work with you, select polyline then use CONVTOSURFACE command then use hatch command to hatch the surface then use filter command to catch the surface chose surface planer then erase it . HTH
