voids, dynamic shapes, and 15.x

archive

Greetings all,

Pre-15.0, shape objects had an attribute of ->voids which contained a list of all the voids in the shape. A void consisted of a series of line/arc segments much like the parent shape.

Now in >15.0 I have a dynamic shape which contains several voids but the ->voids attribute shows nil  .
How can I access these voids using SKILL in 15.x ?

TIA,

  • Turns out the problem was shape objects defined on NEGATIVE planes do not have voids as attributes even though you can clearly see their effect visually. Changing the plane to POSITIVE magically put all the voids in the ->voids attribute where one would expect to find them.

    I can't trust my users to turn all the planes to POSITIVE prior to running the routine that looks for these voids, it'd be nice if there was a way to find them when planes are NEGATIVE.

    But thanks to all who replied!
