I have looked at the sortents functionality, but I think I am looking for something more. I have a VBA project that fills objects created by the user (ie a square is filled with a connected polyline given some user defined perimeters). The basic idea behind all of this it to provide some tools for our system users to create custom tool paths for our deposition system. Basically it's like a fancy electronics printer / plotter. Tool path generated in AutoCad (as in autocad dxf files) are ordered in the sequence of creation. I'm looking for an automatic method of reordering the objects (typically none are ever stacted on another) that makes sense for our printer (just like you would with a plotter). I wish to elimiate or minimize unnecessary moves between deposition etc.
Thanks in advance.
