Is it possible??

Hi everybody..

I have a question for long time ago with no answere..
I hope that I'll get it here.

Well I have some files, each file containes thousands of lines which
are crossing each other..

What really I need right now is to select the lines which are on same
angle (suppose angle 90 degree)..

Is that possible? & how?

Thanx in advance for any respond.

 

Hi Jeffrey..
Thank you for you responding..

Well, unfortunately I don't have any experience with ustn basic except
running them!!

I knew that my problem can be solved by a macro or mdl if available
somewhere on the web..
Maybe only one or two times I created a macro by recording the clicks
for very simple things, but no more.. even when I tried to refer to
the macro help file I couldn't get of it, maybe because of my bad
English plus the no foundation about the basic. (BTW where can I find
the help file which you told about?).

Because all of that I'am trying to find any available solution or free
macro or mdl.

Thanx again

 

Hi Dave..

Sorry for that as you said that I didn't respond.
Well I had a problem with my pc, some one hacked it & destroyed most
of the files + that I couldn't get the new emails.. because of that I
didn't get your email.
I'll try to send you a copy of the file by Saturday from the work.
What I really need is that to get the coordinates of each intersection
of the 2 lines to place cell instead.
Is that clear?? I hope I could explain it clearly..

 

Yes Dave..
Exactly as u said: place a cell on the intersection.

 

Yes it is.
I have writen some code in VB that is cappable of intersections detection. I
is one of my very first and almost unique expericence in programming tasks,
so it's surelly a kind of "a canyon to kill flies" but works and I wolud be
pleased sharing it.
The program finds self-intersections (segments belonging to same lstring),
the common point for lstrings connected at their endings, at the joint of a
T, and it is tolerance-sensitive for solving 3d problems where propper
intersections are statistically rare.
It has been programed to run on a text file containing two polyline
definition and just shows the result in a list-box. So you must be able to
implement the algorithm in Microstation Basic, MDL and add the few lines to
direct the ouput to a place cell command... sounds easy ;-) and so you are
encouraged to share the resulting app.
Are you still interested? Is someone?... please programmers don't laught at
this proto-beginer.
