polyfit.lsp for AutoCAD 14 and AutoCAD 2000
POLYFIT creates 2D polylines with straight line segments along equivalently divided length or perimeter of planar curves.
Lines, circles, arcs, ellipses, 2D polylines, and 2D splines can be selected.
Their thickness must be equal to zero.
You may choose whether the curves are to be divided into a certain number of sections or into sections of a certain length (cf. AutoCAD "divide" and "measure" commands).
If a selected object is closed, POLYFIT will create a closed polyline.
The polylines are created on the current layer with the current color and linetype assignments (independently of the original curves).
The POLYFIT conversion function may assist or enable execution of various AutoCAD commands:
- joining with other objects, creating closed objects by means of "pedit"
- extruding
- creating tabulated or ruled surfaces
- marking boundaries of areas, especially for "xclip", "clipit", "extrim", "wipeout"
Besides, compatibility is improved concerning export into other CAD systems (especially former AutoCAD versions).
Use the AutoCAD "appload" command to load the "polyfit.lsp" file
(in AutoCAD 2000 "polyfit.vlx" is a faster alternative).
Type "polyfit" to run the program.
If you want to create a toolbar button for POLYFIT you may use the
"polyfit16.bmp" and "polyfit24.bmp" files as button faces.See the AutoCAD online help for further details.
