Create 45 degree pathSeg with different width

Naveen Premkumar

Hi,

Is there a way to create a 45 degree pathSeg with different width on the input segment of the slope and output segment of the slope using SKILL.

Attaching a picture.

I typically create a path with the 4 points and convert it to pathseg using leConvertShapeToPathSeg() when the width of all the segments are all the same. In this case if I change the width (say W1) of the segment, I am unable to trigger the callback that adjusts the custom extent.

Please help with the same.

Thanks,

Naveen

  • I don't believe there's an API that does all the work for you. You can use weSetPathSegWidth, but this only handles single pathSegs and doesn't take care of ensuring the custom ending to adjacent pathSegs (this is mostly useful for changing the width of diagonal pathSegs). There's also dbGetPathSegStyle() and dbSetPathSegStyle() but you then need to provide all the custom end dimensions (see the documentation for dbCreatePathSeg for the meaning of each parameter).

    There's an argument there should be a batch function to do what you can do with the edit properties form, but as far as I can see, this doesn't exist currently. You could request an enhancement via customer support.
