Hi,
I'd like to make a block which consists of line, circle, and hatch.(not separate, thosre are one for block)
I tried to do that, but it was difficult with hatch for me.
Let me know how to do design for block?
Below source is my source.
Please, check it.
"\n <add>" +
"\n<cstSectionBlocks Name=\"BLOCKS\" HandleSave=\"@4\">" +
"\n<SubEntities>"+
"\n<cstBlock name=\"BSPoint\">"+
"\n<SubEntities>"+
"\n<cstCircle point=\"0,0,0\" radius=\"5\" HandleSave=\"@2\" />"+
"\n<cstLine point=\"0,0,0\" point1=\"5,0,0\" HandleSave=\"@3\" />" +
"\n</SubEntities>"+
"\n</cstBlock>"+
"\n</SubEntities>"+
"\n</cstSectionBlocks>"+
"\n<cstInsert blockname=\"BSPoint\" point=\"0,50.678,0\" layer=\"Layer2\" />" +
"\n</add>"+

Hello,

To create a hatch inside a block, you should use cstCurvePolygon object which represents a hatch with solid filling. Have a look at the code example below.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<cadsofttools version="2">   
	<add>
    	<cstSectionBlocks Name="BLOCKS">
        <SubEntities>
        	<cstBlock name="Block1">
            <SubEntities>
                <cstCurvePolygon Color="0;3;" SolidFill="True">
                	<Boundaries>
                    <Boundary Flags="1">
                    	<csthArc CenterPoint="0,0" Radius="5" StartParam="0" EndParam="360"/>
                        <cstLine Point="0,0" Point1="5,0"/>       
                    </Boundary>
                    </Boundaries>                                           
                </cstCurvePolygon>  
            </SubEntities>
        	</cstBlock>
        </SubEntities>
    	</cstSectionBlocks>           
    	<cstInsert blockname="Block1" Point="0,50,0" Layer="Layer_Block"/>
	</add>
<FitToSize/>
</cadsofttools>

Notice that this code uses a circular arc (csthArc) instead of cstCircle in the hatch boundary path.
