generic questions on paths and objects they connect

knuhcrek
knuhcrek over 12 years ago

 Question: is it valid to assume a path object will have these characteristics?

1.  path can connect to at most two non-path objects? Is there a case where a path could connect to three non-path objects?

2. path can ONLY connect to the following non-path objects:

    pin  via  shape tee shape

   Are there other non-path objects that a path can connect to?

 

3. What would be some ways to determine what non-path object is connected to a given endpoint of a path object? A simplistic approach would be to compare the ->xy of the endpoint with those non-path objects on the same branch - are there better ways?

 

Regards,
