Automatic lines from left points to right ones

Hi,

 

Does anyone know how to create automatic lines from left points to right ones as shown in the snapshots attached?

 

I have divided two arcs (right and left) into 160 segments. So, what I have got is these points which I would like link each other through lines/segments automatically instead of making them one by one.

 

Any thoughts would be appreciate .

 

Regards

Leandro

Hi,

 

i suggest to use ARRAY  command with known angle spaces that will achieve your need.

i forget to say that with Array ( Polar ) you can get it by specifying and filling :

  • Items : specify the number of items . 
  • Between : specify the angle between items . 
  • Fill : specify the angle between the first and the last item in the array .

If those Points are from DIVIDE-ing two concentric Arcs in the configuration that would result from Offsetting one to get the other [whether you actually made them that way or not], then there's a way to do this without the Points at all.  You can put those Lines in place directly from the original Arcs, without  DIVIDE-ing them first.

 

Go and get DivideMeasurePlus.lsp, >>here<<.  Load that.

 

Draw a vertical Line of the distance between the Arcs, anywhere.  You can draw it between Arc ends, and ROTATE it to be vertical.  [It needs to be vertical, for the options described below, so that the alignment direction tangent to an Arc at a given location along the Arc will place each copy of the Line perpendicular to the Arc.]

 

Call up the DIV+ command.  Choose the User-Selection option [one of the major enhancements compared to ordinary DIVIDE], and select that Line.  When it asks for a "Base point in relation to selection: ", pick the bottom end of the Line.

 

Accept the offered default Aligned option for the rotation.  Give it your number of segments [160 in your example].  Accept the offered Standard default for placement in relation to the segment-division locations, and the offered 0 default for inset from the ends [another option regular DIVIDE doesn't offer], and the offered Yes default for placement at the ends [yet another thing regular DIVIDE won't do].

 

When it asks you to "Select object to divide: ", pick the outer Arc, anywhere.

 

You can get the same result from it in some other ways:  you can pick the top  end of the Line as the base, and pick the inner  Arc to divide;  or you can draw the Line horizontally, and use the Relative-angle to the path rotation option [another choice not available in ordinary DIVIDE], and give it 90 degrees and pick the outer Arc, or 270 degrees and pick the inner one.
