Summary
The CP_PL2SPL command provides a seamless way to convert polylines into splines, using the polyline’s defining vertices as the Spline Fit points. This conversion results in a smooth and flexible spline, ideal for designs requiring curved or freeform geometry.
CADPower -> Conversion -> Line/Polyline/Arc/Spline -> Convert polylines to SPLINE
Key features include:
- Vertex-Based Conversion: Uses the vertices of the polyline as Fit points to create a spline, ensuring the new spline accurately represents the original polyline’s path.
- Smooth Geometry: Converts linear or segmented polylines into smooth splines, enhancing the fluidity and aesthetic of the design.
- Layer Placement Options:
- Source: Places the spline in the original polyline’s layer.
- Current: Places the spline in the current active layer.
- Specify: Allows selecting a specific layer for the spline.
- Deletion Option: Option to delete the original polyline after conversion, helping maintain an organized and clutter-free drawing.
The CP_PL2SPL command is an efficient tool for transforming rigid polylines into smooth splines, enhancing design flexibility and visual appeal.
