Copying "revcloud" from autocad

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 15:29:19 GMT

Just wondering if its possible?

The main delemer is that I have created line types to get this "bubble" look and thats fine when using arcs, circles etc. but say you want to make an "x" or a square. The line type then does not keep the centre of the arc coming from the same point (eg the centre of the object).

so the question really is how do you create a object with the free hand spline tool to have an even arc to bubble the shape with the centre of the arcs to be in the centre of the object.

All comments welcome. Sorry about the confusing babble!

I have read your post twice and I still can't get a clear understanding of what you want. Words are often inadequate, how about a picture of what you want and what's going wrong.

The loops are dependent on the direction the line is drawn. If you are drawing the lines directly you can get used to which way to do it. Otherwise you may need to make two bubble line types for right handed and left handed use.

Did you try using the polyline tool, instead of single lines?

Or a empty fill, with your custom linetype as contour line.
