Hi everybody, I am a CAD engineer working for a company that handles chemical plants projects, and in my work i often have to insert blocks from a customized ToolPalete (which i created) on a polyline. The bad thing is that everytime i add a block (a valve, a steam trap, etc) I have to break lines by myself at the intersection points and delete the part of line that remains 'under' the block.
I have tried the 'AutoBlockBreak' by Lee Mac and it is very useful except it doesn't allow me to use blocks from my customized Tool Palette; I have also tried th script at:
http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=25808.0but it doesn't work well with polylines that are made up of more than one segment (I think it is because of the fact that the script only gest StartingPoint and EndPoint).
Is there a way to modify one of these script in order to accomplish the goal?
The best thing would be to add the upmentioned script with the ability to handle all middle points in a polyline.
In the attachment you find an image showing the problem.
Using the BR-LI script from the 'original situation', it doean't recognize the polyline as a 2-segmented route, and deletes a piece of it.
Thanks in advance, i hope someone may help...
it is a very importand matter for all P&IDs drafters
