Hopefully someone can help me with this.
I am trying to create a block with a closed irregular shape made from 3d polylines
now I want to hatch inside this closed shape (without using hatch command..) with user input angles for hatch
The way that I have tried to solve it I first created a block (closed spline and bunch of parallel lines on top of it.
then I constrained the lines to be parallel and defined a rotation parameter on one of the lines.
everything works so far so when I rotate the line with rotation parameter all the other lines rotate with it except I want the lines to be within the boundary of closed shape.
Then I learned that xclip will let me do it but It only works on block so I had to recreate another block from my original block to incorporate xclip but the problem is with the 2nd block I will lose rotation parameter I defined in the first block.
Is there any other method to do this?
I have attached a screen shot of what I am trying to accomplish. I just need a user input to define the hatch angle in the properties of the block.
Thanks.
