If you Search further for "insulation" just on that Cadalyst CAD Tips website, there are several other routines for Polyline results. Be sure to look at the image in my first comment there - it's pretty juicy, and even works along curved paths. My favorite is my own InsulBattPoly.lsp, available here. If, on the other hand, you actually want a squiggly Polyline end result, rather than a Hatch pattern or via AutoCAD's Batting linetype, there are a variety of routines that will do that. That pattern is defined at 100 drawing units "high" per row of squiggles, so use a scale of the thickness divided by 100. If you mean you want a single row of that pattern, such as to show insulation in a wall, you can do it with some care about the boundary, scale and origin, and of course the rotation angle when the wall direction isn't horizontal. Using the tool palettes makes it easy to insert hatch with preset patterns and properties.Yes, you can do that with the Hatch pattern. Have You Tried article to see how to add hatch to a tool palette. Hover over the variable name to see a brief description. Sets the default scale factor for new hatch patterns in this drawingĬontrols whether a single hatch object or separate hatch objects are created when operating on several closed boundariesĬommands for Hatches and Gradients for a more complete list of hatch related system variables.
