Join Patterns

[celso.amaral]

Hello All.

Does anyone know a way to insert several pattersns into one, through a macro?

Try it like this:

ENTITY LIST $selected_patterns = INPUT ENTITY MULTIPLE pattern "Select patterns to combine..."

CREATE PATTERN "Combined"

FOREACH $patty in selected_patterns {
EDIT PATTERN $patty CLIPBOARD COPY
EDIT PATTERN "Combined" CLIPBOARD PASTE
}

Thank you very much, it's an excellent option.

Instead of using pick by selection, is it possible join all the patterns inside one folder?

So you want to have a temporary folder, where you can drop your patterns wich you want to be joined per one click?

Create a folder, e.g. named tempfolder_2b_joined. Put your patterns inside it and try this:

FOREACH patty in folder ("Pattern\tempfolder_2b_joined") {
EDIT PATTERN $patty CLIPBOARD COPY
EDIT PATTERN "Combined" CLIPBOARD PASTE
}

P.S.: if the pattern "Combined" does not exist, it will be created, activated and displayed. If it's already present, the state (active or visible) will not be changed. You may have to add these two lines, if you make sure to see the result immediately:

DRAW Pattern "Combined"

ACTIVATE PATTERN "Combined"
