Create
compatible Boundaries
from DXF Files
This module has a number of
commands that act on various line and polyline data to make
automatic conversions needed for many processes. The main features
include: It processes boundary artwork which can be made up of lines
or polylines that have duplicate segments and overlapping segments
in the lines and arcs; and eliminates all unnecessary segments and
closes it into one perfect closed polyline polygon.
Another major feature is MakeEdge
which makes a composite closed zero width polyline polygon edge from
any overlapping entities that are solid or have width, blocked or
not blocked. It can convert any polyline that has width to a
boundary and then covert it back again.
It converts circles to doughnuts
and back to circles. It vectorizes circles and ellipses. It
generally converts filled entities or broken up edges to boundaries
and has functions to modify the boundaries.
Key
Features Include:
-
Vectorizes true AutoCAD arcs, lines up vectors on superimposed areas on different layers.
-
Joins line segments into closed polylines
automatically.
-
Eliminates duplicate and 0-length lines and merges overlapping line segments.
-
Draws 0-width closed polyline edges around many
overlapping entities.
-
Simultaneously and progressively chamfers all vertices
of a multi segment closed polyline.
-
Converts thick polylines to outline vectors using 0-width polylines.
