CUTPOLYA 6, 1, 0,
1, 0.15, 5, ! #1 a point
0.15, 0.15, 900, ! #2 a centerpoint, for the arc that's next
0, 90, 4007, ! #3 a 90º arc around the CP above
0, 0.85, 5, ! #4 a point
0.85, 0.85, 900, ! #5 another center
0, 90, 4007 ! #6 another 90º arc
why is it 4007 instead of 4008 and is there a difference?
Status for CUTPOLYA has a max of 7 instead of 15. 8, which represents the side of a polygon if you're talking about a PRISM_, doesn't apply. The status is 1+2+4, draw all three lines. EDIT: Forgot about 64. Point is, 8 isn't used, although it doesn't cause an error.
Is the 0,90,4007 defining the curve from one point to another?
4000+s is arc around center point. The first term is 0 unless you're doing a circle, then it's the radius. Second term is the included angle, for a circle it's 360.
It needs a 900 on the line before, which has the x,y of the CP. You need not give the endpoint, it knows, and will draw from the end of the arc to the next point. If you use 4000 without 900, you get 'Inconsistent status values in the polyline'.
At the end, it happens to close, but I like to make sure it closes by adding the first line at the end,
1, 0.15, -1 ! back to start
...which would change the 6 to a 7 of course.
HTH,
PS, I drew the shape by dropping the code in and changing it to a PRISM_, then used PROJECT2. Since CUTting things are invisible, it's often helpful to build PRISM_s first and then switch them when they're figured out.
