ReMark Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 What would these polyline borders be? Contours? Straight lines? Curved lines? Could you provide us with a sample drawing and/or a bit more detail? Quote
viriato79 Posted May 25, 2011 Author Posted May 25, 2011 What would these polyline borders be? Contours? Straight lines? Curved lines? Could you provide us with a sample drawing and/or a bit more detail? imagine that I have a polyline that representes an area. I want to array with a certain offset a tree object but only inside that area. A square array will place trees out of the border that I will have to erase one by one. How can I array an object within a polyline. See image. Thanks Quote
Coosbaylumber Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 I am thinking here that figure looks exactly like a standard HATCH. Prior to R-14, was there a standard routine to cut up a pattern? Far as I know it is still on Acad someplace. Wm. Quote
nestly Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 I'm not aware that AutoCAD has the capability to array only within a boundary, but I think it's likely that there's a lisp that will do it. In the mean while, you might want to explore ERASE with the WP (Window Polygon) and CP (Crossing Polygon) options to improve cleanup efficiency. http://www.screencast.com/t/ik4RQuyMrryQ Quote
BIGAL Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Good idea nestly Array total area then Erase using F fence but it will leave objects outside need a repeat offset so clean up others out side. Also for lisp would create furtherest outside fence first and then work way in. trying to remember how to do pline as offset fence. is furtherest a word ? Quote
