Summary
The CP_LINPOLY command transforms arced polylines into linear polylines by connecting each vertex of the original polyline with straight lines. This process replaces the curved segments (arcs) with straight-line chords, effectively creating a simplified linear representation of the polyline.
CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> Others -> Draw linear polylines from arced polylines
Key features include:
- Arc to Line Conversion: Converts arced polyline segments into straight-line segments by joining each vertex with a straight line.
- Simplified Geometry: Produces linear polylines that are easier to manage and suitable for designs requiring simplified, non-curved geometry.
- Optional Dialog-Free Mode: The command can be run without the dialog box, allowing for faster execution and streamlined workflows.
The CP_LINPOLY command is ideal for situations where linear representations are preferred or required, such as simplifying complex designs or preparing drawings for certain types of analysis.
