Hatch Pattern? |
|
|
Hi All,
I was working on a project and was wondering if anyone has seen a hatch
pattern (or AutoLisp script) that would fill an area with puzzle shapes
(that interlock properly)?
Drawing it manually is a bit of a pain...
Ideally, they would be seperate entities that could then be moved around
etc. Right now I'm trying to trace over a bitmap, making each piece a
polyline so that the piece could be moved.
TIA
Steve

What you describe would be pretty much impossible to do with a hatch
pattern. However, you might be able to save some time by using some sort of
criss-cross pattern that emulates the layout of a jigsaw puzzle; then you
could use something like the BOUNDARY command to capture the outlines of the
individual pieces, which would be independently movable.

Not really. See my previous post about using polylines and the BOUNDARY
command. I've tried it and it works.

Robert sent me his file and it helped me out greatly. If I get time to
play around with some scripts later, I'll see about automating it, but just
having the component drawing he sent me has cut down my time quite a bit.
Thanks again folks.
