REACTOR Exposure Request

[ScottMC]

Really enjoy what y'all have done with reactors but have

yet to see a live circle using edge tangents. Has this been

used in Civil/Mech? Might inspire me to learn a little..

Thanks

@ScottMC Please upload your SAMPLE.dwg and Sample.lsp as to see what you did and want to do

The desire is to find a way to keep a 'live.circle' tangent connected to

the three edges made/picked first. If any of the edges are changed, the

circle will follow and adjust so it remains tan.connected. I could draw

three lines and a circle but to activate a/this desired reactor is not my

language (yet).

 

1. select or draw segments to attach cir.tan to

2. lsp: draw tangent circle using segments of 1.

3. lsp: activate reactor to maintain tangents

btw.. here's a similar one which has reactor ability

There is all sorts of problems with 3 arcs/circles touching. I don't think can do a reactor but as you have already drawn something you should be able with a lisp to do a re-calc the tangent points. A reactor would have to some how find all 3 objects I think a lisp would be easier.

 

Can you clarify the 3 objects by posting a sample dwg with some examples.
