gpd Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 How do we convert a Polyline (global width > 0) to a solid hatch. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 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.

gpd Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 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.

ReMark Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 There is no built in tool available for the task. You'll need a custom lisp routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
