Topic: Pline "corner"

[Rob...]

By definition an acute is any angle less than 90 degrees.

I have never seen that - the stretching part.

I thought closing it it made it 'pointy' - This probably explains why my 'close' option doesn't always work for me.

Found this in the autocad help guide

Typically, the intersections of adjacent wide polyline segments are beveled. No beveling is performed for nontangent arc segments or very acute angles

Doing this I can replicate your problem, but there is no solution to it.

Oh noooooo.

Thanks Andy

Yeah, I know but it said "very acute angles".  I would've thought "very" would be less than 28 degrees.  Oh, well.

[hudster]

it would appear it's any angle less that 30 degrees, up to that point it kept the corners bevelled.

Oooohhhh, smooth... Like orange velvet! 

[jonesy]

Aw, shucks, now you got me all embarrassed (NOT REALLY)

[hudster]

If you change the angle to less than 30 degrees, it loses the corner

[deegeecees]

Not sure if this is an option but you could "Fake" the corner using 2 additional segments...

Thanks Deeg, but I might just thin the Pline a little, then it might not look so obvious... I'll try that tomorrow, and any other suggestions that may turn up.

Cheers one and all

Two plines for the outer boundaries with a solid hatch?

Offset a zero width pline as many times as it takes at a short distance until the proper width is achieved? Naaaa.

A multiline with the same properties as above would achieve the desired result, and be easly moved, stretched, and wutnot.

Just thinkin out loud here...

Use his idea!!  I forgot all 'bout mlines - never use them.

[craigr]

MLines?

What's the difference between the two?

Maybe we have been using the wrong ones all along.
