pline to mline conversion

hi, all

has someone got some code to convert plines into mlines please, if not can u suggest me how to avoid the following problem:

In simple terms, i have a pline and a circle with hatch. When i turn fillmode off, the hatch in the circle also turns off which i actually donot want. All i wanted is to remove fill from Pline but fillmode inherently effects both.

TIA
Irfan

 

irfan,

Terry Dotson's ToolPac can convert plines to mlines:
www.dotsoft.com

I have my own AutoLISP code to do that, too, but it is not exactly fit for
human consumption, presently, and I think it would probably hinder you more
than help you.

One way I can think of to accomplish your request is to extract the pline
object's vertices and use that list of points to create the mline object.
Set the Current MLine Justification and MLStyle SysVars as needed ahead of
time. (You may need to take into consideration other factors, such as UCSs,
the OCS of the pline, etc., depending on your usage.)

hth,
David Kozina

 

thanks, for ur reply. I think i will have to write my own code
