making "irregular" lines from straight ones.

[Anonymous]

A little background, I’m playing around with solid modeling & 3D printing and I’ve got a question about Apps/add-ons.

Years ago, I know there was an add on program, that Architects sometimes used with AutoCAD drawings to turn elevation drawings into a more “sketch” looking drawing for presentations. Basically taking their perfect straight lines, adding a bit of waviness to them and giving the illustration a hand drawn look.

I was wondering if there’s still something out there for this in AutoCAD 2016?

I’m trying to model an old fashioned flagstone floor, and a rectangular grid of perfect stones isn’t giving me the look that I’m looking for. I’d like to be able to batch process the rectangles and get a more irregular shape to them but I need something more than a Spline command.

Any hints or tips to a non-architecture guy?

Don't use full AutoCAD so I don't know if the following command works or not

EDIT: Yep it works. Just used it in LT2016

Hey @Anonymous,

If am understanding your post in the correct manner, the visual style you are talking about is under the Home Tab>View Panel>2D wire frame drop down>sketchy. (see attached screenshot)

Hope this helps
