You say ABS does this already ? Does this mean there could be a routine in ABS that could be pulled and utilised for any Autocad user to use ? The second question is how is it done ? Does it just add block after block etc once the parameters are set ie. the block width and length ?
I am actually not sure about the best way to do it, I was looking atanother programe though it seems as though it uses sld files, could this be the case ?
I don't understand the use for sld files to mu understanding it is just an image of the current view when made. Can we insert a sld file like and block ? is this the path I should be looking further at ?
Opie,
Blocks ? As you can probably tell from the above, I really am not sure of the smartest approach to accomplishing this, if it is blocks i could make blocks though thats a lot of blocks as the combination of duct sizes is huge. I think it needs to be something that is custom made on request.
I don't wish to do it by offsetting the polyline and then adding the internal lines to make the spaces as this could get very messy should something be required to change whic is often the case.
